Proceedings of the International Symposium on Evolutionary Breeding in Cereals

Evolutionary plant breeding has a long history, but has so far not become part of mainstream breeding research, nor has it been implemented in practice to any substantial degree. However, over the last decade, research in evolutionary plant breeding has markedly intensified. In addition, interest in evolutionary plant breeding is growing among farmers, breeders and policy makers.  The contributions collated from the International Symposium on Evolutionary Breeding in Cereals explore this potential as well as the limitations of evolutionary plant breeding.
