OverviewGenomic Applications for Crop Breeding: Abiotic Stress, Qualityand Yield Improvement is the second of two volumes looking atthe latest advances in genomic applications to crop breeding. Thisvolume focuses on advances improving crop resistance to abioticstresses such as extreme heat, drought, flooding as well asadvances made in quality and yield improvement. Chapters examineadvances in such key crops as rice, maize, and sugarcane, amongothers. Genomic Applications for Crop Breeding: Abiotic Stress, Quality and Yield Improvement complements the earliervolume on biotic stressors and will be an essential purchase forthose interested in crop science and food production.
