Sinopsis:

Molecular Techniques in Crop Improvement, 2nd Edition, edited by S. Mohan Jain and D.S. Brar, is a comprehensive and authoritative resource that explores the integration of molecular biology into modern plant breeding. The book offers an in-depth examination of cutting-edge molecular tools and techniques—such as marker-assisted selection, genomic mapping, transgenic approaches, and gene editing—that have revolutionized crop improvement. Through detailed chapters contributed by leading international experts, the text bridges classical breeding methods with modern genomics, providing a robust foundation for developing high-yielding, stress-tolerant, and disease-resistant crop varieties.

This expanded second edition emphasizes recent advancements in biotechnology and genomics, including functional genomics, proteomics, and genome-wide association studies (GWAS), and how these tools are being used to address global challenges in food security and climate resilience. The book also features practical case studies on major crops such as rice, wheat, maize, and legumes, making it an invaluable reference for plant scientists, breeders, biotechnologists, and graduate students. By highlighting both theoretical and applied aspects of molecular crop improvement, this volume serves as a critical guide for advancing sustainable agriculture through genetic innovation.
