Description

Explore the long timeline of agricultural development with the History of Plant Breeding by CRC Press. While modern technology has advanced rapidly in recent years, the process of selecting plants for human consumption actually began over 13,000 years ago. This book tracks that journey from the Neolithic era through the development of modern crop improvement methods. Readers will learn how plant cultivation progressed across Asia Minor, Asia, Europe, and ancient America. The text examines how local wild plants and specific ecological and social conditions shaped the history of agriculture. By understanding how these methods evolved over many centuries, you gain a better perspective on the current state of biotechnology and the future of plant science. This volume serves as a handy reference for anyone looking to connect historical practices with modern agricultural science. It provides a comprehensive look at the methods used to improve crops throughout human history, making it a valuable resource for students and professionals interested in the biological sciences.
