Global food security is increasingly challenging in light of
population increase, the impact of climate change on crop
production, and limited land available for agricultural expansion.
Plant breeding and other agricultural technologies have contributed
considerably for food and nutritional security over the last few
decades. Genetic engineering approaches are powerful tools that we
have at our disposal to overcome substantial obstacles in the way
of efficiency and productivity of current agricultural practices.
Genome engineering via CRISPR/Cas9, Cpf1, base editing and prime
editing, and OMICs through genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics,
phenomics, an metabolomics have  helped to discover
underlying mechanisms controlling traits of economic importance.
    Principle and Practices of OMICs and
Genome Editing for Crop Improvement provides recent research from
eminent scholars from around the world, from various geographical
regions, with established expertise on genome editing and OMICs
technologies. This book offers a wide range of information on OMICs
techniques and their applications to develop biotic, abiotic and
climate resilient crops, metabolomics and next generation
sequencing for sustainable crop production, integration
bioinformatics, and multi-omics for precision plant breeding. Other
topics include application of genome editing technologies for food
and nutritional security, speed breeding, hybrid seed production,
resource use efficiency, epigenetic modifications, transgene free
breeding, database and bioinformatics for genome editing, and
regulations adopted by various countries around globe for genome
edited crops. Both OMICs and genome editing are vigorously utilized
by researchers for crop improvement programs; however, there is
limited literature available in a single source. This book provides
a valuable resource not only for students at undergraduate and
postgraduate level but also for researchers, stakeholders, policy
makers, and practitioners interested in the potential of genome
editing and OMICs for crop improvement programs.
