The first part covers aspects which are relevant across crops, namely how to maximize the use of genetic information through modern bioinformatic approaches and how to use statistics as a tool to sustain increased genetic gains and breeding efficiency. The second part of the book provides an updated view of some seed-propagated crops, such as rice, maize and oil palm, as well as crops propagated through vegetative means such as sweet potato, cassava, banana and sugarcane. Each chapter addresses the main breeding objectives, markets served, current breeding approaches, biotechnology, genetic progress observed, and in addition a glimpse into the future for each of these selected and important tropical crops. 606 $aPlant breeding 606 $aPlant genetics 606 $aTrees 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 606 $aTree Biology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L22024 615 0$aPlant breeding. 615 0$aPlant genetics. 615 0$aTrees. 615 14$aPlant Breeding/Biotechnology. 615 24$aPlant Genetics and Genomics. 615 24$aTree Biology. 676 $a631.52 676 $a660.6 700 $aCampos$b Hugo$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0990126 702 $aCaligari$b Peter D.S$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910253949903321 996 $aGenetic Improvement of Tropical Crops$92264745 997 $aUNINA
