Special Issue on Plant Genetics and Breeding
Crop breeding is the art and science of improving
important agricultural plants for the benefit of humankind. Crop breeders work
to make our food, fiber, forage, and industrial crops more productive and
nutritious. Crops provide for an expanding global population with increasing
dietary expectations. Environmental protection is also improved by the work of
crop breeders. The goal of this special issue is to provide a platform for
scientists and academicians all over the world to promote, share, and discuss
various new issues and developments in this area of Plant Genetics and Breeding.
In this special issue, we invite front-line researchers and
authors to submit original research and review articles that explore Plant Genetics and Breeding. In this special issue, potential topics include, but are not
limited to:
-
Efficiency
of breeding techniques
-
Diversification
