Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Methods of Plant Breeding A few years ago Dr.. B. T. Galloway, Chief of the Bureau of Plant Industry, mapped out some plant-breeding work for the writer which involved crossing varieties of lettuce, alfalfa, and cowpea, and also certain species of Poa, Trifolium, Melilotus, etc. The work in the beginning presented many difficulties which have since been over come, and it is now progressing satisfactorily. The improvement of plants by cross-breeding varieties is gradually becoming an important factor in the culture of many Of our field and garden crops. The majority of intentional crosses and hybrids made in the past represent work which has been easy of accomplishment. The more difficult subjects have been passed by or at most the efforts of breeders with the hitherto refractory genera have to a large extent been nullified by natural Obstacles in the path Of success. The only difficult part of plant breeding lies in knowing just how to make the most of a cross or hybrid which has been secured. The literature on this subject which has appeared during the last few years is apt, unfortunately, to lead the beginner and even the prac tical breeder into a maze, and he may conclude that the subject is too complex for comprehension. This should not cause discouragement, however, because the mission Of the plant breeder 13 to produce varieties which are in some measure improvements over the Old ones, and each advance made will tend toward that perfecting of plant life which will insure better products for man and the domestic animals. The present contribution to the subject deals not with laws, but with methods used by the writer in accomplishing what have hitherto been considered impossible or difficult crosses, and they may prove helpful to others engaged m the same line Of work. Until recently it has been found impos'sible to cross many plants owing to the fragile nature of the sexual organs. This difficulty has been removed, and the process whereby it has been accomplished is here described for the first time.

This book was released on 2017-10-29 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plant Breeding in Relation to American Pomology One of the most significant facts in nature is that every species of plant which man has cultivated for any length of time has numerous forms, varieties, or strains. The. Practical horticulturist selects that form or strain which is best for cer tain purposes or for certain conditions. The plant breeder asks why or how these forms came about and how they can be improved. It is worthy of note, however, that until about a century ago the principal studies of plant life were made from wild forms rather than from domesticated species.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plant-Breeding Being Five Lectures Upon the Amelioration of Domestic Plants I do not know of any explicit and sustained attempt to account for the evolution of all gar den forms, and I have therefore brought together in this volume the subject-matter of various lectures which I have been in the habit of giving before my students. The first and third lectures were newly elaborated the present summer for two addresses before the class in biology which came together at the University of Pennsylvania, under the auspices of the American Society for the Extension of Univer sity Teaching. The second lecture was first presented before the Massachusetts State Board of Agriculture, in Boston, December 1, 1891.

This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plant-Breeding Being Six Lectures Upon the Amelioration of Domestic Plants IN the eight years since this book was sent to the printer, there have been great changes in our attitude toward most of the fundamental questions that are discussed in its pages. In fact, these years may be said to have marked a transition between two habits of thought in respect to the means of the evolution of plants, - from the points of view held by Darwin and the older writers to those arising from definite experimental studies in species and varieties. We have not given up the old nor wholly accepted the new, but it is certain that our outlook is shifting. So far as practical plant-breeding is involved, the changing attitude is concerned chiefly with discussions of the nature of varieties and the nature of hybridi zation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Breeding Plants and Animals The author of these papers, which were published in the Breeders' Gazette in 1902 and 1904, joins with the proprietor of that paper, Mr. Alvin Sanders, in giving to the Farm Students' Review the right to publish them in book form. They were not written with any thought of their republication. Some revision has been made to make clearer the text and to better adapt it to new conditions. The deferred plan of writing a contem plated text on Breeding, covering the laws of here dity in plants, lower animals and man, and the prac tice of breeding, on account of present lack of time has caused a reluctant agreement to the publication of these articles. No other apology is made for the form of the articles than that they were written con current with publication for a periodical. Any profits which may come from publishing this book is all to accrue to the Farm Students' Review, the agricultural college paper of Minnesota, the author and the first publisher having relinquished all rights. It is hoped that the readers of these notes may realize that the purpose was to promote an interest and to arouse all to begin larger efforts to improve plants and animals, rather than to write a scientifically arranged text. And it is hoped that the enterprising college paper which has undertaken its republication may profit from its sale.
