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 technical
crops is imperative for addressing FHNEE (food, health, nutrition,
energy, and environment) security. Whole genome sequencing in many
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 ten chapters each dedicated to
a technical crop and one chapter devoted to a crop group in this
volume elucidate different types of abiotic stresses and their
effects on and interaction with the crops; enumerate the available
genetic diversity with regard to abiotic stress resistance among
available cultivars; illuminate 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
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.
