This title includes a number of Open Access chapters. Climate
change will severely impact the world's food supply unless steps
are taken to increase crop resilience. Otherwise, the negative
effects on both the yield and the quality of crop plants are
predicted to be immense. Plant genomics is a potentially powerful
defense against this looming threat. This compendium volume offers
a global perspective on the topic, with contributions from 42
eminent researchers from 12 nations around the world. The editor is
a respected and published scientist in the bioinformatics field,
who has chosen articles in the following topics: An overview of the
genetic challenges presented by climate change A genomic toolkit
for crop-related research Specific methods of improvement for
specific crop by means of genomic applications The hand-picked
up-to-date research makes this volume an excellent reference not
only for university-level academics, but also for policymakers and
stakeholders who must tackle the challenge of the world's food
security.
