Biotic stresses cause yield loss of 31-42% in crops in addition to
6-20% during post-harvest stage. Understanding interaction of crop
plants to the biotic stresses caused by insects, bacteria, fungi,
viruses, and oomycetes, etc. is important to develop resistant crop
varieties. Knowledge on the advanced genetic and genomic crop
improvement strategies including molecular breeding, transgenics,
genomics-assisted breeding and the recently emerging genome editing
for developing resistant varieties in vegetable crops is imperative
for addressing FPNEE (food, health, nutrition. energy and
environment) security. Whole genome sequencing of these crops
followed by genotyping-by-sequencing have facilitated precise
information about 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 nine chapters each dedicated to a vegetable crop or
crop-group in this volume will deliberate on different types of
biotic stress agents and their effects on and interaction with crop
plants; will 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; will brief on the classical genetics
of stress resistance and traditional breeding for transferring them
to their cultivated counterparts; will enunciate the success
stories of genetic engineering for developing biotic stress
resistant varieties; will discuss on molecular mapping of genes and
QTLs underlying biotic stress resistance and their marker-assisted
introgression into elite varieties; will enunciate on different
emerging genomics-aided techniques including genomic selection,
allele mining, gene discovery and gene pyramiding for developing
resistant crop varieties with higher quantity and better quality;
and will also elaborate some case studies on genome editing
focusing on specific genes for generating disease and insect
resistant crops.
