Genetic engineering and biotechnology along with conventional
breeding have played an important role in developing superior
cultivars by transferring economically important traits from
distant, wild and even unrelated species to the cultivated
varieties which otherwise could not have been possible with
conventional breeding. There is a vast amount of literature
pertaining to the genetic improvement of crops over last few
decades. However, the wonderful results achieved by crop scientists
in food legumes' research and development over the years are
scattered in different journals of the World. The two volumes in
the series 'Alien Gene Transfer in Crop Plants' address this issue
and offer a comprehensive reference on the developments made in
major food crops of the world. These volumes aim at bringing the
contributions from globally renowned scientists at one platform in
a reader-friendly manner. The second volume entitled, "Alien Gene
Transfer in Crop Plants: Achievements and Impact" will deal more
with the practical aspects. This volume will cover achievements of
alien gene transfer in major food crops of the world and their
impact on development of newer genetic variability and additional
avenues for selection; development of superior cultivars for
increased yield, resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses,
improved nutritional and industrial quality; innovation of new
techniques and positive as well as negative environmental
implications. This volume has been divided into four groups with an
aim to cover all major cereals, pulses, oilseeds and other crops
(vegetable and horticultural crops) which are of economic
importance.
