The term ‘dictionary’ for a layman means a reference book that consists of a list of words along with their meanings. And, when one talks of a dictionary, he or she is implicitly understood as referring to a dictionary of English words. But, unlike what our minds are tuned to think, a person who is talking about a dictionary might just be talking about a glossary of terms belonging to a particular subject. This is exactly where our series comes in the picture. The series consists of dictionaries on varied subjects, ranging from common topics like Commerce and Botany, to very profound and complicated subjects like Entomology and Toxicology. The use of simple and easily comprehensible language, along with real life examples and appropriate pictures, fosters an enriching learning experience for the readers, thereby making each and every volume a must buy. Plant improvement by man began many thousands of years ago. Pre agricultural man learned that seeds put into the ground at a certain time of the year produced similar seed-producing plants. This was the beginning of domestication of plants and led to the production of the first crops. Since then, there have been a lot of discoveries that have led to the development of the pants and flora. Plant science is a growing field that is constantly evolving to promote changes that benefit both the industry and accommodate the growing populations that we are facing. With the many innovative ideas and constant findings, plant science has provided many great additions to society. This dictionary at hand is a small contribution to the vast field of ‘Plant Breeding and Genetics’. The terms and their definitions in this have been compiled in this dictionary after an intensive research. We hope that the efforts that have been put in to make this dictionary are beneficiary to you and your study.
