"Stress Tolerance in Horticultural Crops: Challenges and Mitigation Strategies explores concepts, strategies and recent advancements in the area of abiotic stress tolerance in horticultural crops, highlighting the latest advances in molecular breeding, genome sequencing and functional genomics approaches. Further sections present specific insights on different aspects of abiotic stress tolerance from classical breeding, hybrid breeding, speed breeding, epigenetics, gene/quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping, transgenics, physiological and biochemical approaches to OMICS approaches, including functional genomics, proteomics and genomics assisted breeding. Due to constantly changing environmental conditions, abiotic stress such as high temperature, salinity and drought are being understood as an imminent threat to horticultural crops, including their detrimental effects on plant growth, development, reproduction, and ultimately, on yield. This book offers a comprehensive resource on new developments that is ideal for anyone working in the field of abiotic stress management in horticultural crops, including researchers, students and educators."--Publisher's website

"This book will report on specific biofortification of edible crops using modern biotechnology and omics technologies in their broad and targeted sense. This discipline is attracting the interests of the scientific community who are involved in the development of novel biofortified edible crops, describing how the modern biotechnological tools and omics technologies can be used to improve the nutritional characteristics and nutritional health benefits of edible plants focusing on vitamins and minerals. Some work have been published on phytonutrients enhancement of crops, but few work reported on vitamins and minerals. This book will include, but is not limited to, modification and enhancement of edible crops at the molecular level, frequently dubbed as "modern biotechnology" or "Omics technologies". This book will also concentrate on recent developments of biotechnology used in edible development and will present biotechnology and omics as provider of powerful and useful tools, in a continuum of technical evolution that contributes or could contribute to the improvement of nutritional quality of edible crops"--

QTL Mapping in Crop Improvement: Present Progress and Future Perspectives presents advancements in QTL breeding for biotic and abiotic stresses and nutritional improvement in a range of crop plants. The book presents a roadmap for future breeding for resilience to various stresses and improvement in nutritional quality. Crops such as rice, wheat, maize, soybeans, common bean, and pigeon pea are the major staple crops consumed globally, hence fulfilling the nutritional requirements of global populations, particularly in the under-developed world, is extremely important. Sections cover the challenges facing maximized production of these crops, including diseases, insect damage, drought, heat, salinity and mineral toxicity. Covering globally important crops including maize, wheat, rice, barley, soybean, common bean and pigeon pea, this book will be an important reference for those working in agriculture and crop improvement.
