- Descripción:
- This is a practical guide to mutation breeding in oil palm, representing completely novel work supported by the Joint FAO/IAEA Plant Breeding and Genetics Section (Vienna, Austria). Oil palm is the top oil crop and the only major crop and only oil crop not to have been improved by plant mutation breeding. The manual is hands-on, providing step-by-step illustrated methods in mutation induction, mutation detection and mutant line development for oil palm improvement. Presenting sound practices based on scientific innovation and knowledge, this guide provides techniques integrated with expertise and is authored by practitioners actively engaged in oil palm seed production and breeding. Promoting green, eco-friendly agriculture, this book features coverage of: radio-sensitivity testing; challenges and opportunitites for mutation breeding; protocol for developing mutatnt generations for mutant screening; and services in irradiation treatments. The only available resource containing protocols and guidelines on how oil palm can be manipulated for mutation breeding, this book is essential reading for oil palm breeders, seed producers and plantation companies, oil palm traders, students and research institutes across the world.
