Modern plant breeding is considered a discipline originating from the science of genetics. It is a complex subject, involving the use of many interdisciplinary modern sciences and technologies that ...became art, science and business. Revolutionary developments in plant genetics and genomics and coupling plant "omics" achievements with advances on computer science and informatics, as well as laboratory robotics further resulted in unprecedented developments in modern plant breeding, enriching the traditional breeding practices with precise, fast, efficient and cost-effective breeding tools and approaches. The objective of this Plant Breeding book is to present some of the recent advances of 21st century plant breeding, exemplifying novel views, approaches, research efforts, achievements, challenges and perspectives in breeding of some crop species. The book chapters have presented the latest advances and comprehensive information on selected topics that will enhance the reader's knowledge of contemporary plant breeding.
Na podlagi literature ter uradnih sortnih list bivše Jugoslavije in samostojne Slovenije je narejen celoten pregled vzgojenih slovenskih sort kmetijskih rastlin. Nekatere sorte kmetijskih rastlin ...niso bile vpisane v uradne sortne liste, a so bile kljub temu nekaj časa v proizvodnji oz. na trgu (jablane, oreh, mandljevec), nekatere pa so bile v sortni listi samo krajši čas. Največ slovenskih sort je bilo vzgojenih pri krompirju (17 sort) in hmelju (11) ter v zadnjem obdobju pri vinski trti (26). Slovenske sorte imamo tudi pri nekaterih poljščinah, travah in deteljah, vrtninah, predvsem fižolu (8), radiču (4) in motovilcu (3) ter pri nekaterih sadnih vrstah. Glede na obsežno gensko banko nekaterih kmetijskih rastlin obstajajo velike možnosti za intenzivnejše žlahtnjenje slovenskih sort.
