Merging topical data from recently published review and research
articles, as well as the knowledge and insight of industry experts,
Omics Applications in Crop Science delves into plant science, and
various technologies that use omics in agriculture. This book
concentrates on crop breeding and environmental applications, and
examines the applications of various omics technologies including
genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics to important
agronomic, horticultural, medicinal, plantation, fiber, forage, and
bioenergy crops. It covers the application of omics technologies in
several important crops, including cereal, and pulse. It explores
the brassica species, drought tolerance in rice, and genetic
engineering of the potato. The book discusses temperate fruits; and
omics of medicinal plants, the metabolomics of Catharanthus roseus
and how the medicinally important alkaloids of the plant are
produced, as well as the omics of another important medicinal
plant, Withania somnifera. It examines floriculture, the omics
advances in tea, and omics strategies in improving the fiber
qualities of cotton. It provides omics-related information on
forest trees and forage crops, and offers a detailed account on how
omics technologies are applicable in molecular farming, along with
associated issues such as commercial aspects of molecular farming,
clinical trials of plant-produced pharmaceuticals, regulatory
issues and intellectual property rights. Written as a resource for
plant biologists, plant breeders, agriculture scientists,
researchers and college students studying various fields in
agriculture, and the agri industries, OMICS Applications in Crop
Science compiles the latest research in this essential field of
modern crop and plant science utilizing various omics technologies
and their applications in a number of important crops/plants from
agronomy, pomology, olericulture, floriculture, medicinal plants,
plantation and energy crops, agro-forestry, and more.
