Soft cover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Contents: I. General: 1. Introduction.2. The Relevance of Genetics and Genomics in Plant Breeding. 3. Tools of Plant Breeding. 4. Breeding of Self-Pollinated Crops. 5. Breeding of Cross-Pollinated Crops.6. Breeding for Biotic Stress Resistance. 7. Breeding for Resistance to Abiotic Stresses. 8. Breeding for Quality Traits. II. Transgenic technology: 9. The Basic Techniques of Transgenic Technology.10. Transgenic Plants for Resistance to Biotic and Abiotic Stresses. 11. Transgenic Plants with modified Quality and other Novel Traits. 12. Biosafety Issues Related to and Adoption of Transgenic Crops. III. Molecular Markers:13. Molecular Marker Systems and Trait Phenotyping. 14. Marker-Trait associations. The discipline of plant breeding has undergone transformation due to the assimilation of the rapid developments in molecular biology. The existing books on plant breeding deal mainly with the classical approaches, while specialized books on molecular approaches usually lack discussion of the classical methods. The book Molecular Plant Breeding attempts to present the complete picture of plant breeding ranging from the classical to the molecular approaches applied to crop improvement. The book is divided into four sections: Classical Plant Breeding, Transgenic technology, Molecular Markers, and Miscellaneous. The first section deals with the classical plant breeding and is divided into eight chapters. The second section has four chapters and describes transgenic technology. The third section discusses various aspects of molecular markers and is spread over three chapters. The final section has a single chapter dealing with variety release, seed multiplication and intellectual property rights. This book is designed primarily for graduate students, viz., B.Sc. agriculture and B.Sc. science students with botany as one of the subjects, who would get their first exposure to plant breeding. It would also be useful for the post-graduate students, especially in botany, and to teachers of the subject. The book is written in simple and easy to understand language. Illustrations and photographs have been provided wherever they were expected to facilitate comprehension of the subject under discussion. (jacket).

CRISPR-Cas9 system. 6. Base editing. 7. Gene editing for plant breeding. 8. Gene editing in animal breeding. 9. Human health. 10. Modulation of gene expression. 11. Genetic modification of natural populations. 12. Biosafety and ethical concerns. Glossary. Reference. Gene or genome editing is barely two decades old, but its impact is palpable in every discipline of biological sciences, especially basic and applied biomedical researches. It enables a planned and precise alterations in genome sequences as well as controlled activation or repression of selected gene functions. Base editors based on CRISPR-Cas system were created a couple of years ago, and they permit permanent conversion of the single targeted base pair into another base pair. The potential of this powerful discipline are testified by its contributions in the form of gene therapies of otherwise intractable human diseases and improved crop varieties with novel traits. The present book is designed to provide the basic principles of gene editing as well describe its realized and potential applications. The book targets biologists in general and geneticists, biomedical researchers and plant breeders in particular. It is hoped that it will be useful to post-graduate students, research scholars and research workers concerned with analyses of biological phenomena and development of strains with novel and useful traits.
