Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Breeding Crop Plants Since the early development of agriculture by primitive peoples, selection of seed for planting has been an important feature of agricultural practice. While many of our better varieties or strains of crop plants have originated as chance seedlings or from selections made by men who lacked a knowledge of the laws of heredity, there has been a growing appreciation in recent years of the value of training students for the occupation of plant breeding. Studies in crop genetics carried on since 1900, as well as studies in field plot technic, have helped in a large measure to standardize methods of breeding. Information regarding the mode of inheritance of particular characters as well as a better knowledge of the wild relatives of our crop plants is constantly being obtained. The purpose of this book is to present fundamental principles of crop breeding and to summarize known facts regarding the mode of inheritance of many of the important characters of crop plants. Much of the material here presented has been used in courses in crop breeding which have been given in recent years at the College of Agriculture, University of Minnesota. Suggestions from others in relation to methods of treatment of various subjects have been of material value. Particular mention should be made of the helpful advice of Dr. M. J. Dorsey regarding the chapters on "Plant Genetics" and "Fruit Breeding;" of F. A. Krantz regarding the chapter on "Potato Breeding," and of John Bushnell and W. T. Tapley regarding the chapter on "Vegetable Breeding." We are also indebted to Miss Alice McFeely, Bulletin Editor, for many suggestions regarding presentation and for assistance in proofreading; to Mr. A. N. Wilcox for assistance in proofreading; to Miss L. Mae Centerwall for help in obtaining a considerable number of publications from other libraries; and to Miss Alma Schweppe for checking the literature citations.

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.

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 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.
