Polyploidy and Hybridization for Crop Improvement

By Mason, Annaliese S.

0 - Default Title
Description
Polyploidy and hybridisation are critical processes in plant evolution and speciation. Many current agricultural crops are either natural or agricultural hybrids or polyploids, including potato, sugarcane, wheat, strawberries, and banana. There is a great deal of potential to utilise these natural evolutionary processes for targeted crop improvement; for example, through introgression of desired traits from wild species into crops, production of seedless fruits, or even creation of entirely new crop types. This book provides a comprehensive summary of how the processes of polyploidy and hybridisation have shaped the foods we eat and how these processes can be used for crop improvement.
