This book presents deliberations on molecular and genomic
mechanisms underlying the interactions of crop plants to the
abiotic stresses caused by heat, cold, drought, flooding,
submergence, salinity, acidity, etc., important to develop
resistant crop varieties. Knowledge on the advanced genetic and
genomic crop improvement strategies including molecular breeding,
transgenics, genomic-assisted breeding, and the recently emerging
genome editing for developing resistant varieties in vegetable
crops is imperative for addressing FHNEE (food, health, nutrition,
energy, and environment) security. Whole genome sequencing of these
crops followed by genotyping-by-sequencing has provided precise
information regarding the genes conferring resistance useful for
gene discovery, allele mining, and shuttle breeding which in turn
opened up the scope for 'designing' crop genomes with resistance to
abiotic stresses. The nine chapters each dedicated to a vegetable
crop or crop group in this volume elucidate on different types of
abiotic stresses and their effects on and interaction with the
crop; enumerate on the available genetic diversity with regard to
abiotic stress resistance among available cultivars; illuminate on
the potential gene pools for utilization in interspecific gene
transfer; present brief on classical genetics of stress resistance
and traditional breeding for transferring them to their cultivated
counterparts; depict the success stories of genetic engineering for
developing abiotic stress-resistant crop varieties; discuss on
molecular mapping of genes and QTLs underlying stress resistance
and their marker-assisted introgression into elite varieties;
enunciate on different genomics-aided techniques including genomic
selection, allele mining, gene discovery, and gene pyramiding for
developing adaptive crop varieties with higher quantity and quality
of yields, and also elaborate some case studies on genome editing
focusing on specific genes for generating abiotic stress-resistant
crops
