The intended audiences are professionals in plant breeding and related areas, such as seed production, who have interests in developing and disseminating new plant varieties as a way to increase productivity and profitability in crop agriculture, especially in Africa. The volume is also intended for use as a resource book for the education of postgraduate scholars in plant breeding and genetics, and for the continuing professional development of plant breeders. For this purpose, boxes are included in the main sections of each chapter that summarize its educational objectives and present the key messages and questions that are involved; in addition, there is a final box at the end of each chapter that summarizes its overall learning objectives. 517 $aBusiness of Plant Breeding 517 $aThe business of plant breeding : market-led approaches to new variety design in Africa 606 $aPlant reproduction & propagation$2bicssc 606 $aEntrepreneurship$2bicssc 606 $aAgricultural science$2bicssc 610 $aprofitability 610 $aseeds 610 $aAfrica 610 $acultivars 610 $apublic sector 610 $aplant breeding 610 $agenetic improvement 610 $ademand 610 $abreeding programs 610 $aprivate sector 610 $aproductivity 610 $abreeding programmes 610 $acultivated varieties 615 7$aPlant reproduction & propagation 615 7$aEntrepreneurship 615 7$aAgricultural science 676 $a631.5/3096 702 $aPersley$b G.
