Description
About the Book
Genes are segments of DNA that determine the traits of an organism, including plants. They are the fundamental units of heredity, carrying genetic information from one generation to the next. In crops, genes influence characteristics such as yield, disease resistance, and drought tolerance. Reproduction in crops can occur through sexual or asexual means. Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of male and female gametes, resulting in seeds that carry genetic material from both parent plants. This process introduces genetic diversity, which is essential for the adaptation and evolution of crops. Asexual reproduction, on the other hand, involves the production of offspring without the fusion of gametes. This can occur through methods like cuttings, tubers, or runners. Asexual reproduction produces genetically identical offspring, which can be advantageous for maintaining desirable traits in crops. Therefore, genes and reproduction are fundamental to crop development, influencing their traits and adaptability. This book explores all the important aspects of crop genes and reproduction. The topics included in this book are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. The book, with its detailed analyses and data, will prove immensely beneficial to professionals and students involved in this area at various levels.Book Synopsis
