Plant Breeding
30
genetics : scientific study of heredity and variation
assyrians : pollinated date palm artificially
plant propagation : process of artificially or naturally propagating plants
sexual propagation : often the cheapest and easiest method to produce large number of plants
heritability : measure of the genetic contribution to phenotypic variability
clone : genetically uniform of assemblage of individual
genetic variability : raw material of plant breeding
bush sitao : hybrid of string bean and cowpea
bulbils : modified flower that develop into plants directly without the formation of seeds
apomixis : seeds are formed but the embryos develop without fertilization
facultative :termed in apomixis when sexual reproduction occur
male sterility : absence of functional pollen grains
vavilov : a tireless plant explorer and collector
zea mays : scientific name of corn
adaptability : refers to a suitability of a variety for general cultivation over a wide range of environmental conditions
burbank : he says that "the secret to improved plant breeding, apart from scientific knowledge is love".\
IRRI : oldest and largest international agricultural research institute
protogyny : pistils mature before stamens
cleistogamy : case where flower do not open at all
megagametogenesis : development of embryo sac from a megaspore
sporogenesis : production of microspores and megaspores
diplospory :embryo sac is produced from the megaspore
selection : refers to different reproduction of individual in a population
apospory : case where some vegetative cells of the ovule develop into unreduced embryo sac after meiosis
jones : proposed double cross in corn
teosinte : progenitor of modern corn
triticum aestivum : wild relatives of wheat
harlan : proposed the theory that agriculture originated independently in three different areas
synchronous : maturity of a crop species at one time
shattering : serious problem in mungbean and rice
plant breeding : aims to improve the characteristics of plants so that they become more desirable agronomically and economically
soybean : a crop developed on 1994 that is resistant to sulfonyl urea herbicide
IPB : is a research institute in UPLB
Umali : known for breeding improved varieties of food grains, legumes, fruits, and ornamental plants
