This new volume, Advances in Sorghum Science: Botany, Production,
and Crop Improvement, provides an easy-to-read and comprehensive
treatment of the sorghum crop. With the world’s production of
sorghum topping over 55 million tons annually, sorghum is very
important for as a staple dietary food for much of the world as a
rich source of micronutrients and macronutrients, as an ingredient
in the processing of many foods, and as a source of fodder. The
authors of the volume provide detailed information on sorghum from
several disciplines and bring together recent literature under one
umbrella. The book covers the various aspects of the sorghum crop,
starting from its origin, to its domestication, and going on to
biotechnology of the crop. It describes sorghum production,
ideotypes, botany, physiology, abiotic and biotic factors affecting
crop productivity, methods of cultivation, postharvest management,
grain quality analysis for food processing, improvement of sorghum
crop, and research advancements in breeding and biotechnology. This
valuable resource will be helpful to researchers and scientists
working to understand the relation between various disciplines and
the implementation of new methods and technology for crop
improvement and higher productivity. The multi-pronged approach
will help to enable the increase sorghum productivity to meet the
world’s growing demands.
This new volume offers a multi-pronged perspective on maize
science, bringing together important recent research advances from
several disciplines. The volume covers maize from origin to
biotechnology. It provides an overview of recent world maize
production along with technological advancements and green
strategies in maize science. The authors cover the background of
maize, its origin and domestication, ideotypes, botany, taxonomy,
physiology of crop growth, methods of cultivation, production,
nutritional functions, biotic and abiotic stress impacts,
postharvest management and technology, maize grain quality, and
advances in breeding and biotechnology, filling a gap in the
literature of maize.

During recent decades, tremendous progress and innovations have
been made in rice science with the goal of increasing production to
meet the world's growing demands. This new volume provides a
concise overview of rice, covering the background and importance of
rice; origin, evolution, and domestication of rice; and the world
rice production. It goes on to provide new and important recent
research advances on many different aspects of rice science and
production. The authors look at advances in rice ideotypes, abiotic
stress management techniques, biotic stress affecting crop
productivity, new methods and technology for cultivation, and new
methods and techniques in rice grain quality analysis and
processing. It also describes new rice varieties, new hybrid rice
technology, and new breeding methods for rice.
Cotton is one of the most important fiber and cash crops throughout
the world, and it plays a dominant role in the industrial and
agricultural economies of many countries. Here is a rich resource
of information on the cultivation and production of cotton. This
volume provides an overview of the origin and evolution of cotton
and its physiological basis and characterization, and goes on to
discuss methods of cultivation, biotic stresses, and harvesting and
postharvest technology. The volume addresses new advances in
research for best cultivation methods, effective utilization of
resources, and operations for achieving higher yields, thus
achieving higher productivity. The authors take an
interdisciplinary approach, providing valuable information
necessary to increase cotton productivity to meet the world's
growing demands.
