Description

Maize plays a massive role in global food security and human nutrition. This volume, Quantitative Genetics in Maize Breeding, serves as a vital resource within the Handbook of Plant Breeding series. As a cross-pollinated species with unique male and female organs, maize allows breeders to utilize techniques from both self and cross-pollinated crops to drive evolution. This book explores the science of breeder-directed evolution in one of the world's most successful crops. It provides deep insights into how genetically improved cultivars are developed to support farmers and meet the needs of producer farms worldwide. Whether you are studying biotechnology or working in plant breeding, this text offers a clear look at the methods used to develop the maize varieties that sustain populations globally.

Key Features

Explore the science of breeder-directed evolution in maize, a crop that serves as a primary example of successful plant breeding.

Learn how the unique biological structure of maize, with separate male and female organs, enables diverse breeding techniques.

Gain knowledge on developing improved maize cultivars that support farmers and global food security needs.

Part of the professional Handbook of Plant Breeding series published by Springer for academic and scientific study.

Understand the relationship between genetic improvement and the production of maize for human nutrition.
