Prof. Thomas C. Osborn Vegetable Analytics and Pipeline Design Lead at Bayer Crop Science in St. Louis, MO, USA Previously Professor and Bascom Chair in Agronomy in the University of Wisconsin at Madison, Where I worked with him on the Brassicaceae system and learnt how to develop novel concepts of plant molecular genetics and side-by-side generate genetic resources for crop improvement.
Preface
The last 120 years have witnessed a remarkable evolution in the science and art of plant breeding culminating in quite a revolution in the second decade of the twenty-first century! A number of novel concepts, strategies, techniques, and tools have emerged from time to time over this period, and some of them deserve to be termed as milestones. Traditional plant breeding, immediately following the rediscovery of the laws of inheritance, has been playing a spectacular role in the development of innumerable varieties in almost all crops during this entire period. Mention must be made on the corn hybrids, rust-resistant wheat, and obviously the high-yielding varieties in wheat and rice that ushered the so-called green revolution. However, the methods of selection, hybridization, mutation, and polyploidy
