Translational Genomics for Crop Breeding

Genomic Applications for Crop Breeding: Biotic
Stress is the first of two volumes looking at
the latest advances in genomic applications to crop breeding. This
volume focuses on genomic-assisted advances for improving
economically important crops against biotic stressors, such as
viruses, fungi, nematodes, and bacteria. Looking at key advances in
crops such as rice, barley, wheat, and potato amongst others,
Genomic Applications for Crop Breeding: Biotic
Stress will be an essential reference
for crop scientists, geneticists, breeders, industry personnel and
advanced students in the field.
