Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Breeding Plants and Animals The Farm Students' Review in publishing in book form these papers by Prof. Willet M. Hays, now Assistant Secretary of the United States Department of Agriculture, believes it is doing a public service, as well as undertaking a profitable enterprise for itself. These articles published in discontinuous parts covering two years in a weekly periodical, have not had a fair presentation even to the readers of the Breeders Gazette. While they were not designed to be brought together in a book, but rather became a part of a rapidly developing subject currently discussed in the periodical mentioned, they give in an emphatic way many of the theories of the author. The body of knowledge he gathered - after commencing investigations in animal breeding, but using many plants for theoretical experiments, for demonstrating that the science of breeding can be developed, and for the addition to wealth of the State and Nation - is here better ex-than in any of his earlier publications. It is believed by the Farm Students Review that breeders of animals, breeders of plants, scientists who are studying related problems, and students in agricultural schools will appreciate these papers in book form. The price has been placed low for a book of this size and character. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Breeding For Ornamentals Classical and Molecular Approaches written by A. Vainstein and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book we bring together the most up-to-date information on developments, both basic and applied, that already have or are expected to impact the field of ornamental breeding. These include classical and molecular techniques, traditional and high-throughput approaches and future trends. Since not only professional scientists, but also thousands of future scientists/students as well as amateur breeders around the world contribute heavily to the field of ornamental breeding, an introductory section dealing with the basics of molecular and classical genetics and the evolution of floral diversity is included. This should enable the reader to bridge the gap between traditional and molecular genetics. Classical approaches to the creation/selection of genetic variability, including mutation and tissue culture-aided breeding, are presented. Processes affecting ornamental and agronomic traits at the molecular level are delineated, along with an in-depth analysis of developments in the protection of intellectual property rights. The thoughts and strategies of molecular and classical geneticists, which are not always complementary or even compatible, are presented side by side in this book, and will serve to spark the imaginations of breeders as well as students entering the exciting world of state-of-the-art ornamentals.

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.

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.

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 Cross Breeding and Hybridizing written by Liberty Hyde Bailey and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-13 with total page 54 pages. 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.
