Hybrid Plants

The book traces the evolution of plant hybridization from Mendel's foundational experiments to cutting-edge CRISPR technology, while maintaining a clear focus on real-world applications and solutions to contemporary agricultural challenges. The book's three-part structure systematically guides readers through the complex world of hybrid development.

Beginning with the scientific foundations of hybridization and genetic principles, it progresses to detailed laboratory and field techniques for creating and stabilizing new hybrids, and concludes with practical cultivation methods and troubleshooting guidance. Notable examples include the development of drought-resistant grains and disease-resistant fruit trees, demonstrating the practical impact of hybrid technology on food security and agricultural sustainability.

What sets this work apart is its balanced approach to presenting technical information, combining peer-reviewed research with practical protocols and cultivation guides. The text addresses crucial contemporary issues such as climate adaptation and disease resistance while acknowledging ongoing debates about genetic modification and biodiversity conservation. Through detailed case studies and evidence-based insights from botanical institutions and agricultural research centers, readers gain a thorough understanding of both the potential and limitations of hybrid plant development in modern agriculture.
