Genomic Applications for Crop Breeding: Biotic Stress is the first of two volumes looking at the latest advances in genomic applications to crop breeding. This volume focuses on genomic-assisted advances for improving economically important crops against biotic stressors, such as viruses, fungi, nematodes, and bacteria. Looking at key advances in crops such as rice, barley, wheat, and potato amongst others, Genomic Applications for Crop Breeding: Biotic Stress will be an essential reference for crop scientists, geneticists, breeders, industry personnel and advanced students in the field.

Genomic Applications for Crop Breeding: Abiotic Stress, Quality and Yield Improvement is the second of two volumes looking at the latest advances in genomic applications to crop breeding. This volume focuses on advances improving crop resistance to abiotic stresses such as extreme heat, drought, flooding as well as advances made in quality and yield improvement. Chapters examine advances in such key crops as rice, maize, and sugarcane, among others. Genomic Applications for Crop Breeding: Abiotic Stress, Quality and Yield Improvement complements the earlier volume on biotic stressors and will be an essential purchase for those interested in crop science and food production.

The Genomics Applications in Crop Improvement two volume set brings together a diverse field of international experts in plant breeding genomics to share their experiences in the field, from success stories to lessons learnt. In recent years advances in genetics and genomics have greatly enhanced our understanding of the structural and functional aspects of plant genomes. Several novel genetic and genomics approaches such as association genetics, advanced back-cross QTL analysis, allele mining, comparative and functional genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, etc. offer unprecedented opportunities to examine crop genetic variation and utilize this variability for breeding purposes. Enhancing the prediction of the phenotype from a genotype using genomics tools is referred to as 'genomics-assisted breeding'. To date, genomics-assisted breeding has shown its potential for crop improvement in several crops, however these successes have been largely restricted to temperate cereal and legume crops, and others such as Eucalyptus, sugarcane, tomato and other vegetables crops. Moreover, while success stories are available for improving resistance to biotic stresses, only a few examples are available on development of superior lines for abiotic stresses. These volumes will allow researchers the tools to begin to apply these technologies more broadly and will hopefully lead to lasting improvements in a wide variety of economically important crops.Volume One, Biotic Stress, focuses on genomic-assisted advances for improving economically important crops against biotic stressors, such as viruses, fungi, nematodes, and bacteria. Looking at key advances in crops such as rice, barley, wheat, and potato amongst others.Volume Two, Abiotic Stress, Quality and Yield Improvement, focuses on advances improving crop resistance to abiotic stresses such as extreme heat, drought, flooding as well as advances made in quality and yield improvement. Chapters examine advances in such key crops as rice, maize, and sugarcane, among others. Two volumes covering important topics in crop genomics and applying thatinformation to breeding improved varieties of economically important cropsVolumes cover improving resistance to abiotic and biotic stressors as well as breedingefforts to improve yield and qualityIncludes chapters on current challenges for plant breeders such as fusarium disease in wheat and cyst nematodes in soybean cropsOrganized by crop, with chapters covering a variety of topics for each including disease resistance, drought tolerance, salinity tolerance and overall improvement of yieldWritten by an international team of expertsThis book is intended for crop science researchers, plant biologists, geneticists, physiologists, cellular and molecular biologists, and advanced students in related fields will also find this set useful.

This book caters to those interested in deploying forward- and reverse-genetics toward a more complete characterization of tetraploid wheat biodiversity for a more effective circular genomics for tailoring climate-resilient cultivars able to sustainably feed mankind while limiting the environmental footprint. Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp. durum) is the main source of semolina for producing pasta, the staple of the Mediterranean diet, and other local foods in the Middle East and North Africa. Durum is the donor of the A and B genomes of bread wheat, hence a model species and a treasure trove of biodiversity for hexaploid wheat breeding.The book highlights the pivotal role of the assembly of the durum wheat genome and its progenitor, wild emmer, to enhance our understanding of gene/QTL functions in polyploid wheat while contributing toward a more effective genomics-assisted breeding of wheat cultivars with a lower environmental footprint while ensuring high yield and grain quality.The book describes the sequencing of wild emmer and durum wheat, the tuning of sequence coverage, gene expression, small RNAi and molecular fingerprinting for an informative profiling of genetic resources of tetraploid wheat. The remaining chapters illustrate how genomics and sequencing facilitate (i) the application of TILLING, (ii) mapping and meta-QTL analysis of drought and heat tolerance, head blight resistance, nitrogen-use efficiency and prolamins, (iii) genome editing, and (iv) organelle genomics.Overall, readers will acquire knowledge on how best leverage the durum wheat genome based on, gene/QTL mapping and cloning, harnessing beneficial haplotypes and, ultimately, KASPTM-based marker-assisted breeding.

Genomics research has great potential to revolutionize the discipline of plant breeding. This two-volume set provides a critical assessment of genomics tools and approaches for crop breeding. Volume 1, entitled "Genomics Approaches and Platforms", illustrates state-of-the-art genomics approaches and platforms presently available for crop improvement. Volume 2, entitled "Genomics Applications in Crops", compiles crop-specific studies that summarize both the achievements and limitations of genomics research for crop improvement. We hope that these two volumes, while providing new ideas and opportunities to those working in crop breeding, will help graduate students and teachers to develop a better understanding of the applications of crop genomics to plant research and breeding
