商品描述
This book is a comprehensive compilation of current knowledge on the integrated approaches and strategies of sustainable crop improvement. It encompasses a broad spectrum of subjects including the latest developments and understandings of diverse stress management techniques for sustainable crop enhancement, accelerated breeding, and genome editing. It also delves into the development of next-generation crop varieties through genomic selection to ensure food and nutritional security. It showcases biofortification as a solution to combat hidden hunger by increasing the iron, zinc, and vitamin content in staple crops and millets as resilient and nutritious crops, a key player in future food systems. Innovations in grafting and the enhancement of nutritional quality in vegetable crops are explored, along with novel technologies like plasma treatments and bioengineering to improve food and non-food crops. This book deliberates on the digital tools like high throughput phenotyping, bioinformatics, and machine learning, integrated with classical breeding to enhance crop nutrition, resilience, and sustainability for future food and nutritional security.
