Principles of Plant Genetics and Breeding, 3rd Edition | Wiley
Acquaa does not assume you are a geneticist. The early chapters (1–7) rebuild the fundamentals: Mendelian genetics, population genetics, cytogenetics, and the molecular basis of inheritance. The 3rd edition adds a critical chapter on "Epigenetics"—how environmental factors can turn genes on or off without changing the DNA sequence—a concept vital for modern breeders.
The study of chromosomes and their behavior during cell division. 2. Traditional Breeding Methodologies
For many students, this is the most sought-after section. It demystifies the "lab side" of breeding.
