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.
Provides thorough coverage of genomic applications for crop breeding against abiotic stress and quality and yield improvement Looks at the latest genome–based advances in crop breeding Focuses on abiotic stressors, quality improvement and improving yields Complementary coverage to Volume 1 on biotic stressors .
