Breeding Field Crops examines various aspects of Genetic, evolutionary and plant breeding insights from the domestication including an extensive historical overview of breeding crops and related issues. It includes definitions of diversity, Genome engineering and plant breeding, Quantitative Resistance to Plant Pathogens. Provides the reader with insights into the development of its history, so as to understand the Genomics-assisted breeding in fruit trees, Genetic analysis of recombinant inbred lines for Sorghum bicolor × Sorghum propinquum, Challenges of breeding potato cultivars to grow in various environments and to meet different demands.
About the author
Carlos Tello (Valencia, Spain, 1981) studied Agricultural Engineering with specialization in Biotechnology at the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, where he graduated with a BSc thesis on the characterization of an Arabidopsis mutant with increased tolerance to seed ageing and salt stress. He moved afterwards to Sevilla to complete his MSc and PhD at the Instituto de Recursos Naturales y Agrobiología, where he studied the mechanisms employed by plants in their adaptation to abiotic stress and more specifically the role of the Arabidopsis Na+/H+ antiporter SOS1 in the regulation of Na+ and K+ homeostasis. Since 2014, he is based in Zürich and develops several freelance science-related jobs. He has recently retrained himself in the field of cell culture in bioreactors by attending an advanced training course at the Zürcher Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften.
