Plant Breeding Reviews, 1st Edition, edited by Irwin Goldman, reviews research on crop genetics, breeding histories, and agricultural policy contexts. The volume synthesizes critical developments across agronomic crops, fruit genetics, and practical breeding applications.
The collection examines specific genetic traits alongside historical perspectives in plant agriculture. Scientific reviews explore candidate genes involved in extending fleshy fruit shelf life, breeding naked barley for food, feed, and malt uses, and the domestication, genetics, and genomics of the American cranberry.
The volume also investigates broader social and institutional factors affecting crop development. It addresses farmer and gender preferences for varietal traits in crop improvement as well as the evolution and outcomes of intellectual property protection in plant agriculture.
