This book presents deliberations on molecular and genomic
mechanisms underlying the interactions of crop plants to the biotic
stresses caused by different diseases and pests that are 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
cereal 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 biotic stresses. The eight chapters each
dedicated to a cereal crop in this volume elucidate on different
types of biotic stresses and their effects on and interaction with
the crop; enumerate on the available genetic diversity with regard
to biotic 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 biotic 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 biotic stress-resistant
crops.
