Wheat is one of the major food crops of the world and has made substantial contribution towards green revolution in India. However, it is becoming difficult day by day to increase wheat production in proportion to the rapidly increasing human population, especially in developing countries. In fact, the rate of increase in wheat production each year is gradually declining as the semi-dwart wheat era is now almost over. Therefore, there is a need to use some new breeding methods and techniques which may help the breeders in breaking the yield barriers in wheat. The book Trends in Wheat Breeding provides all necessary information about such recent methods and techniques.
