Applied Mathematics and Omics to Assess Crop Genetic Resources for
Climate Change Adaptive Traits focuses on practical means and
approaches to further the use of genetic resources for mitigating
the effects of climate change and improving crop production.
Genetic diversity in crop plants is being further explored to
increase yield, disease resistance, and nutritional value by
employing recent advances in mathematics and omics technologies to
promote the adaptation of crops to changing climatic conditions.
This book presents a broad view of biodiversity and genetic
resources in agriculture and provides answers to some current
problems. It also highlights ways to provide much-needed
information to practitioners and innovators engaged in addressing
the effects of global climate change on agriculture. The book is
divided into sections that cover: The implications of climate
change for drylands and farming communities The potential of
genetic resources and biodiversity to adapt to and mitigate climate
change effects Applications of mathematics and omics technologies
Genomics and gene identification We are in the midst of significant
changes in global climates, and its effects are already being felt
throughout the world. The increasing frequency of droughts and heat
waves has had negative impacts on agricultural production,
especially in the drylands of the world. This book shares the
collective knowledge of leading scientists and practitioners,
giving readers a broader appreciation and heightened awareness of
the stakes involved in improving and sustaining agricultural
production systems in the face of climate change.
