Molecular Plant Breeding: Principles And Practices NEW
Molecular Plant Breeding:
Principles and Practices addresses the pressing challenges of food security,
climate change, and population growth through the lens of molecular plant
breeding. This comprehensive volume explores innovative techniques and
strategies that are reshaping crop improvement and agricultural sustainability.
The book opens with foundational
concepts in biotechnology and its role in advancing agriculture, discussing
topics like The Future of Agriculture: Biotechnological Innovations and Role of
Biotechnology in Crop Improvement. It emphasizes the potential of modern
biotechnological tools to enhance crop yields and resilience while also
focusing on nutritional quality through chapters such as Advanced Plant
Biotechnological Strategies to Enhance Food Quality and Nutrition and Innovations
in Food Legumes for Nutritional Security and Sustainable Agriculture.
Attention is given to the
importance of environmental adaptability, with insights on producing crop
varieties suited for changing climates in chapters like Role of Improved
Varieties and Advancement of Agriculture Sustaining Food Security in Indian
Climate Changing Scenario and Role of Biotechnology in Mitigating Climate
Change.
The book also covers cutting-edge
technologies, including Genome Editing, Â Marker-Assisted
Selection, and Crispr/Cas9, which are critical to developing next-generation
crop varieties. Furthermore, it highlights the importance of biodiversity
conservation with topics like Applications of Micro-Propagation Techniques in
Rare and Endangered Plant Conservation.
Finally, Molecular Plant Breeding presents
compelling case studies that showcase real-world applications and successes in
the field. This volume serves as an essential resource for researchers,
students, and practitioners, aiming to deepen their understanding of molecular
breeding while inspiring innovation in addressing today's agricultural
challenges. Readers are encouraged to engage with the knowledge presented,
igniting their passion for sustainable and resilient agricultural practices.
