About the Book
Genetics of Plants provides a clear introduction to the essential principles of genetics and cytology, with special emphasis on their application to horticulture and plant breeding. The book explains how discoveries in cell biology, chromosome behavior, and heredity directly influence practical plant improvement.
It highlights the importance of chromosomes as carriers of hereditary information and discusses how genetic principles guide plant breeders, seedsmen, gardeners, and nurserymen in maintaining purity, improving varieties, and understanding variation. Special attention is given to polyploidy, chimeras, vegetative propagation, and compatibility in pollination—topics of great practical relevance in orchard and garden crops.
The text also connects modern genetic research with real-world horticultural practices, helping readers understand how cytological and genetic investigations have shaped plant breeding strategies. Written in a simple and accessible style, this book serves both as an introduction to genetics and as a valuable resource for students, horticulturists, and plant breeders.
