This book, Biotic Stress Management in Rice: Molecular Approaches,
addresses biotic stress of rice and its management through
molecular approaches. It focuses on the biotechnological aspects of
rice with the aim of reducing the fungicide and insecticides and
ultimately ensuring safety of rice as a food as well as the
environment. Rice is an important crop in much of the Asia-Pacific
region, and there are a number of threats to rice production,
including fungal, viral, and bacterial diseases and insect pests,
both in temperate and tropical countries, which can cause the
significant economic loss. Remarkable efforts are being made by
scientists and breeders to raise rice productivity and safety by
modifying and manipulating rice plants to survive under different
types of stresses. The book provides an understanding of the
genetic basis of resistance and susceptibility and goes on to
present studies directed to understand the host-plant interaction
in rice that have given rise to specialized breeding programs for
resistance to diseases and insect-pests. In addition to these
advancements in molecular breeding, marker-assisted selection and
transgenic approaches open new ways to increase resistance in rice
for better production under several biotic stresses. This book
covers the most recent advancements and research strategies of
molecular breeding, transgenic approaches, and other tools for
effective biotic stress management in rice. This book should find a
prominent place on the shelves of new plant breeders,
biotechnologists, plant pathologists and entomologists working in
academic and commercial rice research programs, and in the
libraries of research establishments.
