This edited book highlights the gravity and efficacy of
next-generation breeding tools for the enhancement of
stress-resilience in cereals, especially in the context of climate
change, pests, diseases, and abiotic stresses. The content of the
book helps in understanding the application of emerging genetic
concepts and neoteric genomic approaches in cereal breeding. It
collates all the latest information about enhancing the stress
resilience in cereal crops for overcoming food security issues.
Cereals have predominantly been used as a staple food since time
immemorial and contribute more than 50% of the caloric requirement
of the global population. However, in cereals, the yield losses due
to various stresses are very high, considering the crop growth
stage and stress sensitivity. Therefore, to feed and nourish the
generations in the era of climate change, it is imperative to
develop stress-resilient cereal cultivars. This book explores newly
developed next-generation breeding tools, viz., genome-wide
association studies, genomic prediction, genome editing, and
accelerated generation advancement methodologies, which revealed
promising outcomes by enhancing the stress resilience in cereals
with yield potential. This book is useful for postgraduate students
specializing in plant breeding, plant stress physiology, plant
genomics, agriculture, and agronomy. It is of immense value to
scientific community involved in teaching, research, and extension
activities related to cereal cultivation.
