Infos

The book provides a comprehensive overview of the functional genomics to develop a stress resilience crop. The book will be helpful to students doing their Master's, Ph.D., postdoc, and the scientific community in the fields of molecular biology, biotechnology, and crop improvement. The individual chapters of the proposed book will demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the molecular mechanism, which is yet to be characterized for improving stress tolerance.

Abiotic stresses such as drought, high soil salinity, heat, cold, oxidative stress, and heavy metal toxicity are common adverse environmental conditions that affect and limit crop productivity worldwide. Understanding the molecular basis of plant response to these environmental conditions has been a major focus of recent research. Abiotic stress is a complex trait, which is governed by multiple genes, i.e., "Functional Genomics", which aims to identify genes and determine their functions. Plant functional genome analysis has progressed to a high-throughput stage. The various parameters for developing abiotic stress resilience plants can be studied using transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and phenomics (OMICS). As a result, the study of functional genomics is critical in the development of crop production and meeting the demands of the world's ever-increasing population.

 

This book is aimed at students, teachers, and scientists in academia and relevant private companies who are interested in the fields of crop improvement, horticulture, genetics, breeding, physiology, molecular genetics, genomics, in vitro culture and genetic engineering, and structural functional genomics. Specially, this book is intended to provide a comprehensive understanding of plant stress tolerance, with a focus on abiotic stress resilience, in order to improve crop yield. The primary audience for this book includes those seeking to deepen their knowledge of the biological process underlying plant stress tolerance and to apply this knowledge to the development of novel strategies for enhancing crop productivity.
