This book provides a comprehensive review of recent advances in breeding techniques for cereals such as wheat and barley.It discusses developments in conventional techniques such as backcross breeding, the use of doubled haploids (DH) and hybrid breeding. The book then reviews the latest advances in phenotyping to facilitate selection and in identifying genetic markers for marker-assisted breeding (MAS). This provides the foundation for summaries of advances in MAS techniques such as genome wide association studies (GWAS), nested association mapping (NAM) and genomic selection (GS). The final part of the book looks forward to emerging techniques such as gene editing (GE).
