"Our lives and well being intimately depend on the exploitation of the plant genetic resources available to our breeding programs. Therefore, more extensive exploration and effective exploitation of plant genetic resources are essential prerequisites for the release of improved cultivars. Accordingly, the remarkable progress in genomics approaches and more recently in sequencing and bioinformatics offers unprecedented opportunities for m ..."

"P. Stephen Baenziger, Ali Bakhsh, Aaron Lorenz and Harkamal Walia Abstract
Conventional breeding has a long history of success, while the field of genomics
and its applications offer new ways to more efficiently breed new cultivars. In this
chapter, using wheat (Triticum spp.) as an example, we review the current
understanding of wheat breeding and two of its key aspects: The use and
creation of genetic diversity (intercrossing eli ..."
