Adaptation in Plant Breeding : Selected Papers from the XIV EUCARPIA Congress on Adaptation in Plant Breeding held at Jyväskylä, Sweden from July 31 to August 4, 1995 / edited by Peter M.A. Tigerstedt.
Plant adaptation is a fundamental process in plant breeding. It was the first criterion in the initial domestication of plants thousands of years ago. Adaptedness is generally a quantitative complex feature of the plant, involving many traits, many of which are quantitative. Adaptation to stresses l...
