Selecting cultivars for resistance to high and low temperatures [a review]
1988
Ottaviano, E. | Sari-Gorla, M.
Genetic improvement of major crop species entails the modification of yield components, including those conferring resistance to environmental stresses. Progressively, advances in plant physiology and the new tools such as recombinant DNA and tissue and cell cultures are beginning to make an impact on plant breeding. The efficiency of selection for temperature stress resistance, based on a physiological approach, and methods that could be developed using the new biotechnologies are evaluated on the basis of the genetical theory by which the structure and the procedures of a breeding program are generally defined. Methods of selection based on cell cultures and gametophytic selection are discussed for their potentialities and limitations.
