商品描述

With increasing global food demand and changing climatic conditions, sorghum is an important crop for sustainable agriculture. Its inherent resilience to drought, heat, and poor soils makes it a promising solution for enhancing food security and climate adaptation. To further harness its potential, Designing Sorghum Genome for NextGen Agriculture, authored by leading researchers and experts, explores the latest advancements aimed at improving sorghum's resilience and productivity. This comprehensive resource provides cutting-edge insights into how modern scientific tools and methods are being leveraged to design the sorghum genome for enhanced yield, stress tolerance, and nutritional value.

This book takes a multidisciplinary approach, integrating diverse strategies to enhance sorghum's resilience. It highlights current achievements and outlines future directions to harness sorghum's genetic potential as a climate-resilient crop for next-generation agriculture.

Key Features:

- Examines sorghum's global agricultural significance and its role in addressing future climatic challenges.

- Covers genomics, pan-genomics, mutagenesis, and targeted gene editing for sorghum improvement.

- Highlights physiological, molecular, and microbiome-based strategies to enhance sorghum's abiotic stress tolerance.

- Explores the synergy between genomic selection and phenomics for accelerated genetic gain.

- Discusses omics approaches and systems biology for advancing sorghum research.

- Showcases artificial intelligence and crop simulation modeling as tools for sorghum breeding for enhanced stress tolerance and yield potential.

This book serves as a valuable resource for researchers, breeders, agronomists, and students working in sorghum genetics, genomics, crop improvement, and sustainable agriculture. By bridging fundamental research with translational breeding strategies, it offers a forward-looking perspective on leveraging genomics for the future of sorghum production.
