Flowers are an invaluable gift that enrich the natural world with their diverse colors and promote human well-being. Ornamental plants provide environmental security for immediate living areas, which is why extensive research on floriculture began early on.

This book will vividly illustrate the applications of genetics and breeding in flower crops, covering a broad range of topics. Breeding techniques aim to accelerate the production of premium and stable lines in self-pollinating crops. Breeders employ a variety of methods, such as wide hybridization, tissue culture, and mutagenesis, to generate new alleles and expand available genetic resources. Molecular markers are used to assist breeders through marker-assisted selection and to identify quantitative trait loci for desired traits. This book presents the principles of breeding in an accessible way to readers.

It is designed to address all aspects of breeding, including its fundamental objectives, various breeding methods, methodologies for improving specific crops, stress resistance, quality improvement, mutagenesis, molecular breeding, and genetic engineering.
