This edited book covers all aspects of omics approaches used for
the varietal improvement of millets in changing climatic
conditions. Millets are the collection of small-grained cereal
grasses, that are grown for human carbohydrate needs. They are
among the oldest crops, mainly divided into two groups - Major and
small millets based on seed size. Small millets are earlier
considered orphan crops, but recently due to their nutritional
values, they are getting importance in cultivation. This book
explores the genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics,
bioinformatics, and other omics tools that are being widely used to
get a clear understanding of mechanistic approaches taken by plant
genes to tolerate stress. Various reports are published based on
field breeding on these crops, and recently the genome of some of
the small millets is released, and many omics studies are published
related to its application in varietal improvements. This book
reviewed all those recent studies and is of interest to research
students, plant breeding scientists, teachers that are working in
agriculture and plant biotech universities. Along with this, the
book serves as reference material for undergraduate and graduate
students of agriculture, and biotechnology. National and
international agricultural scientists, policymakers will also find
this to be a useful read.
