Global demand for wheat, rice, corn, and other essential grains is
expected to steadily rise over the next twenty years. Meeting this
demand by increasing production through increased land use is not
very likely; and while better crop management may make a marginal
difference, most agriculture experts agree that this anticipated
deficit must be made up through increased crop yields.
The first resource of its kind, Physiology and Biotechnology
Integration for Plant Breeding assembles current research in crop
plant physiology, plant biotechnology, and plant breeding that is
aimed toward improving crop plants genetically while supporting a
productive agriculture ecosystem. Highly comprehensive, this
reference provides access to the most innovative perspectives in
crop physiology - with a special emphasis on molecular approaches -
aimed at the formulation of those crop cultivars that offer the
greatest potential to increase crop yields in stress
environments.
Surveys the current state of the field, as well as modern
options and avenues for plant breeders and biotechnologists
interested in augmenting crop yield and stability
With the contributions of plant scientists from all corners of
the globe who are actively involved in meeting this important
challenge, Physiology and Biotechnology Integration for Plant
Breeding provides readers with the background information needed to
understand this cutting-edge work, as well as detailed information
on present and potential applications. While the first half of the
book establishes and fully explains the link between crop
physiology and molecular biology, the second part explores the
application of biotechnology in the effective delivery ofthe high
yield and environmentally stable crop plants needed to avert the
very real possibility of worldwide hunger.
