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.

This book was released on 2019-01-21 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Download or read book Breeding Plants and Animals Classic Reprint written by W. M. Hays and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 206 pages. 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.

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.

Download or read book Plant Breeding in Scandinavia Classic Reprint written by L. Hugh Newman and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plant Breeding in Scandinavia The material presented in this book is the result of a special enquiry made by the writer into the present status of plant-breeding in that part of Northern Europe known as Scandinavia, which comprises the three countries of Sweden, Norway and Denmark. For various reasons practically all the time available for this investigation (about nine months) was spent at the headquarters of the famous Plant Breeding Institution known as the "Swedish Seed Association" situated at Sval of, a little village in the southern part of Sweden. My remarks will therefore concern very largely the work of this institution, although reference will be made from time to time to endeavors of a similar nature elsewhere. The main object of this publication is to give a general survey of the work conducted at Svalof from the time of its inception and to indicate some of the facts and circumstances which have led to the adoption of principles of breeding now recognized at that place. For this exposition I claim neither originality nor completeness. The facts submitted have been taken from printed or private records to which reference is made in practically all cases. The one object has been, in the words of Huxley, "to know what is true in order to do what is right." I am also deeply sensible of the great obligation I am under to Prof. Hjalmar Nilsson, director of the Institution at Svalof, not only for permission to investigate the work, but still more for the personal assistance and great courtesy which he at all times extended. In no less degree am I indebted to Drs. Nilsson-Ehle, Hans Tedin, Hernfrid Witte and Mr. Lundberg who, as experts in direct charge of their respective branches, were most untiring in their efforts to present their work exactly as it is. While efforts have been made to render the following pages as intelligible to the general public as the nature of the subject would permit, they are addressed primarily to the scientific reader. In order more fully to appreciate the difficulties as well as the possibilities associated with the production of more useful forms of cultivated plants in Sweden, the reader is commended to study carefully the Appendix in which are considered the geographical position, physiography, climate, precipitation etc., of this country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cross-Breeding and Hybridizing: The Philosophy of the Crossing of Plants, Considered With Reference to Their Improvement Under Cultivation; With a Brief Bibliography of the Subject Let me say, further, that crossing alone can accomplish comparatively little. The chief power in the evolution or progression of plants appears to be selec tion, or, as Darwin puts it, the law of preservation of favorable individual differences and variations, and the destruction of those which are injurious. Selection is the force which augments, develops and fixes types. Man must not only practice a judicious selection of parents from which the cross is to come, which is in reality but the exercise of a choice, but he must constantly select the best from among the crosses in order to maintain a high degree of usefulness and to make any advancement; and it sometimes happens that the selection is much more important to the cultivator than the crossing I do not wish to discourage the crossing of plants, but I do desire to dispell the charm which too often hangs about it.

Download or read book An Illustrated Catalog of American Fruits Nuts written by and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-13 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States Department of Agriculture Pomological Watercolor Collection encompasses 7,497 botanical watercolor paintings of evolving fruit and nut varieties; alongside specimens introduced by USDA plant explorers from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Assembled between 1886 and 1942, these remarkable, botanically accurate, watercolors were executed by some 21 professional artists (including nine women). Authored largely before the widespread application of photography, the watercolors were intended to aid accurate identification and examination of fruit varietals , for the nation's fruit growers. Documenting the transformation of American pomology, the science of fruit breeding and production, and the horticultural innovations accountable for contemporary fruit cultivation and consumption, the USDA's collection offers fascinating anthropological and horticultural insights on the fruits we ecstatically devour, and why. Encompassing fruit-suffused anecdotes and observations drawn from the fields of archaeology and anthropology, horticulture and literature, ancient representation and contemporary visual art, Atelier Éditions' kaleidoscopic examination of the USDA's pomological collection, offers readers an engaging, biophillic meditation upon the sweetest of all earth's produce.
