Production of new varieties: an integrated research approach to plant breeding

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Wheat Breeding ((TLB))

Abstract

In drawing up the outline of this chapter we decided that it would be better to give a case history of the wheat-breeding programme at the Plant Breeding Institute, Cambridge (PBI), than to give a more generalized account of wheat breeding on the world scale. This is because the problems differ widely between environments, and varieties of wheat are more narrowly adapted than those of some other crops to latitude and to temperature. However, we hope that most of the conclusions will be generally applicable.
