The book entitled “Competitive Book of Genetics and Plant Breeding for ARS/NET Examination” has been specially prepared for the MSc and PhD students who are preparing for various competitive examinations like ICAR – SRF, NET and ARSB exams.
Features:
• An attempt has been made to present the concepts of Genetics and Plant Breeding in a more simplified and understandable way. For better understanding of the concepts, tables and figures have been used wherever it is necessary and it is hoped that it will be useful to some of the students.
• The book comprises basic concepts of Genetics, genome organization and cytogenetics of crops, breeding methods in self and cross-pollinated crops, mutation breeding, other miscellaneous plant breeding methods, breeding methods for biotic and abiotic stress resilience, quantitative and biometrical genetics, population genetics, basic statistics and experimental designs in plant breeding, breeding for
quality traits, molecular breeding and biotechnological tools and plant genetic resources and its regulatory systems and breeding for horticultural crops.
• These topics are precisely written and explained from the exam point of view. The authors have referred class notes, and manuals, along with the most popular books.
