Increased world population, decreased water supply, and climate
change all put stresses on the global food supply. An exploration
of the challenges and possible solutions to improve yields of the
main crops, such as cereals, roots, tubers, and grasses, Omics
Technologies and Crop Improvement reviews data on food sciences and
omics. The book covers modern omic technologies such as
nutrigenomics and metagenomics. It provides a detailed examination
of how omics can help crop science and horticulture and introduces
the benefits of using these technologies to increase crop yields
and other features such as resistance and nutritional values. The
book highlights crop improvements such as increased yield, drought
resistance, disease resistance, and value-added performance through
a non-transgenic format. It explores how the different omics
technologies, especially the most recent ones (proteomics,
metabolomics, nutrigenomics, ionomics, and metagenomics) would be
used to improve the quantitative and qualitative features of crop
plants. Topics covered include: Advances in omics for improved
fresh crops Transcriptome analyses on the drought response using
drought tolerant near isogenic lines Metabolite profiling that
reveals different effects of nitrogen amendments on vegetables
Omics technology application to forage crops improvement Secondary
metabolites and plant tissue culture RNAi technology and crop
improvement Gene expression analysis methods with NGS data Web
database resources and crops improvement Gene Expression Networks
(GEN) in crops Specific crop improvement (papaya, wheat, coffee,
potato, and more) With contributions from pioneering researchers
from twelve countries, the book presents a broad view of how omics
would help crop science and horticulture meet the challenges of a
shrinking global food
