Integrating Taxonomy, Genomics and Biotechnology for Crop Improvement presents a comprehensive overview of modern approaches that connect plant diversity, genetic resources, molecular biology, and advanced breeding technologies. The book explores how conventional knowledge of plant taxonomy and genetic resource management can be integrated with genomic tools and biotechnological innovations to accelerate crop improvement and support the development of improved crop varieties.
The chapters cover a broad range of topics, including the management of plant genetic resources, tobacco and Tobacco Mosaic Virus as a model for molecular research, fluorescent and genomic in-situ hybridization, tissue culture-induced chromosomal exchanges, cisgenesis, intragenesis, transgenesis, doubled haploids, molecular markers, mapping populations, epigenetics, and the statistical analysis of multilocation trials.
The book further addresses high-throughput phenotyping, association mapping and genome-wide association studies (GWAS), CRISPR/Cas9 technology, and metabolomics, highlighting their applications in understanding plant traits, improving breeding efficiency, and developing crops with desirable characteristics.
By bringing together foundational concepts and emerging technologies, this volume serves as a valuable academic resource for students, researchers, teachers, plant breeders, geneticists, and professionals working in plant breeding, genetics, genomics, biotechnology, and crop improvement. It also provides a useful reference for understanding the evolving landscape of precision breeding and technology-driven agricultural research.
