These challenges \r\nrequire crop varieties that are not only high-yielding but also resilient, resource\r\nefficient, nutritionally superior, and adaptable to diverse and changing \r\nenvironments. Conventional plant breeding has made remarkable contributions to \r\nglobal food production; however, the complexity of modern agricultural \r\nchallenges demands the integration of advanced genetics, genomics, \r\nbiotechnology, phenomics, and computational approaches to accelerate and \r\nimprove crop improvement. <br><br>\r\nThe book <b><i>Frontiers in Genetics and Plant Breeding: Innovations for \r\nCrop Improvement</i></b> brings together contemporary advances in genetics and plant \r\nbreeding that are shaping the future of crop improvement. It highlights the \r\napplication of molecular markers, quantitative genetics, genomics, genome-wide \r\nassociation studies, genomic selection, speed breeding, genome editing, high\r\nthroughput phenotyping, artificial intelligence, and multi-omics approaches for \r\nthe efficient identification and deployment of desirable traits. Particular emphasis \r\nis placed on improving tolerance to drought, heat, salinity, and other abiotic \r\nstresses, strengthening resistance to pests and diseases, enhancing resource-use \r\nefficiency, and maintaining yield and quality under changing environments. <br><br>\r\nThis book also explores the integration of conventional breeding \r\nprinciples with emerging digital and biotechnological innovations, providing a \r\ncomprehensive perspective on how modern breeding systems are becoming \r\nincreasingly precise, predictive, and efficient. The contributions emphasize the \r\nimportance of genetic diversity, crop wild relatives, landraces, advanced breeding \r\npopulations, and innovative selection strategies in broadening the genetic base of \r\ncultivated crops. By connecting fundamental genetic principles with practical \r\nbreeding applications, the book aims to provide researchers, plant breeders, \r\nacademicians, students, and agricultural professionals with valuable insights into \r\ncurrent developments and future directions in crop improvement.<br><br>\r\nUltimately, <b><i>Frontiers in Genetics and Plant Breeding: Innovations for \r\nCrop Improvement</i></b> envisions a future where scientific innovation, genetic \r\ndiversity, digital technologies, and ecological understanding converge to develop \r\nresilient and productive crops. The knowledge presented in this volume is \r\nintended to support the advancement of sustainable agriculture, strengthen global \r\nfood and nutritional security, and prepare crop production systems to meet the \r\nchallenges of an increasingly uncertain agricultural environment.","price":749,"sellingPrice":749,"DOIDetail":"doi","bookGallery":["/uploads/PublishedBook/Frontiers in Genetics and Plant Breeding Innovations for Crop Improvement_Gallery2.png"],"bookSales":0,"bookRoyalty":0,"bookBy":["66ada297d95098bca5841d28"],"category":"695ec1f2b0659e48a719bc3f","bookGenre":[],"show":true,"date_time":"2026-09-19T01:57:38.036Z","bookCover":"/uploads/PublishedBook/Frontiers in Genetics and Plant Breeding Innovations for Crop Improvement_Cover.png","__v":0}
