Description
Molecular Breeding
for Sustainable Crop Improvement, Volume 2 focuses on integration of advances in genetics, cytogenetics, molecular biology and
biotechnology aimed at alien gene introgression for genetic improvement of
major crop species at molecular level to help overcome the limitations
associated with conventional plant breeding.
This book includes articles on the availability
and application of modern genomic approaches, tools, and resources in a
precision breeding approach. The contributions involve the
use of molecular markers and
linkage, QTL and association mapping of agronomic traits to identify candidate
genes and to design functional markers for marker assisted selection (MAS), gene
pyramiding using MAS coupled with marker assisted back cross breeding (MABB), next
generation sequencing (NGS) to generate genome wide markers and screen new
alleles, and targeting induced local lesions
in genomes (TILLING) or ecotype TILLING (EcoTILLING) for the screening of
either mutant or natural germplasm collections to integrate genomic
information into directional and selective breeding in crops to maximize
genetic gains.
Breeders, taxonomists, geneticists,
cytogeneticists, molecular biologists and biotechnologists are going to greatly
benefit from this book. We sincerely hope that this book will serve as a
milestone in the precision breeding of crops to achieve meaningful plant
genetic improvement.
