The book emphasizes the tremendous potential of polyploidy in plant breeding to improve existing crops and develop new ones to cater for the needs of an ever-increasing human population. It is divided into 8 chapters, each including an introduction and references, and complemented with plentiful illustrations, figures and tables. The chapters cover all facets of polyploidy, from its origin, occurrence, recent polyploidization, formation pathways, artificial induction, criteria for detection, and its significance in the contexts of genomic changes and the changing environment, as well as future perspectives. The book discusses at length the aspects of polyploidy that need to be understood for a thorough comprehension of this biologically important subject. It also highlights the recent techniques involved in polyploidy research. Further, it provides a detailed account, with suitable examples, of the different genetic and epigenetic changes that occur in polyploids to help their survival. A timely publication, it serves as an excellent single-source textbook. It is a valuable resource for students, research scholars and teachers of biological sciences in particular, and to plant breeders, cytologists, geneticists, and molecular biologists in general.  . 606 $aPlant anatomy 606 $aPlant development 606 $aPlant breeding 606 $aPlant genetics 606 $aPlant Anatomy/Development$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L24019 606 $aPlant Breeding/Biotechnology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L24060 606 $aPlant Genetics and Genomics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L32020 615 0$aPlant anatomy. 615 0$aPlant development. 615 0$aPlant breeding. 615 0$aPlant genetics. 615 14$aPlant Anatomy/Development. 615 24$aPlant Breeding/Biotechnology. 615 24$aPlant Genetics and Genomics. 676 $a571.32 700 $aDar$b Tanvir-Ul-Hassan$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0875484 702 $aRehman$b Reiaz-Ul$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910253934103321 996 $aPolyploidy: Recent Trends and Future Perspectives$91954750 997 $aUNINA
