Biotic Stress Tolerance in Horticultural Crops: Challenges and Mitigation Strategies explores concepts, strategies, and recent advancements in the area of biotic stress tolerance in horticultural crops, highlighting the latest advances in molecular breeding, genome sequencing, and functional genomics approaches. The book highlights a variety of aspects of biotic stress tolerance in horticultural crops, from classical breeding, hybrid breeding, speed breeding, epigenetics, gene/quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping, transgenics, physiological and biochemical approaches to OMICS approaches, including functional genomics, proteomics, and genomics assisted breeding. This volume has been designed to include the advancements mitigating the effects of bacterial, viral, fungal, and insects-pests. Readers will find this to be a comprehensive resource for anyone working in the field of biotic stress management in horticultural crops, including students, educators, and scientists in industry and academia.
