Contents:
Phenomics science: an integrated inter-disciplinary approach to crop improvement -- Genomic and transcriptomic approaches for quality improvement in oilseed brassicas -- A recap on quantitative trait loci associated with disease resistance in food legumes -- Genomic and proteomic tools for understanding mysterious protein dioscorin from dioscorea tuber -- Small RNAs-I: role as developmental and adaptive regulators in plants -- Small RNAs-II: mode of action and potential applications in plant improvement -- Plant molecular breeding: way forward through next generation sequencing -- Integration of omics approaches for low-phosphorus tolerance in maize -- Omics: modern tools for precise understanding of drought adaptation in plants -- Salinity stress: 'Omics' approaches -- Unravelling the abiotic stress tolerance in common bean through Omics -- Proteomics of seed development: a case study of rice and soybean -- Understanding abiotic stress tolerance in plants by proteomics approach -- Potentialities of proteomics for generating abiotic stress tolerant crop species -- Strategies for breeding cereal crops to attain sustainability with major emphasis on rice.
Subject: Due to the advent of state-of-the-art technologies in the field of biotechnology, much progress has been achieved since the last decade. OMICS technologies are being extensively used to address various issues pertaining to agriculture. Recent advances in genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics techniques have revolutionized the understanding of genetic response of plants to various biotic and abiotic stresses. Strategic application of this revolutionary technology will eventually lead towards attaining sustainability in agriculture. This new book, Plant OMICS and Crop Breeding, addresses this important issue. -- Provided by publisher.
