These stresses pose significant challenges in developing resilient crop varieties. Understanding the advanced genetic and genomic crop improvement strategies, including molecular breeding, transgenics, genomic-assisted breeding, and the recently emerging genome editing, is crucial for addressing the security of FHNEE (food, health, nutrition, energy, and environment).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhole genome sequencing of these crops, followed by genotyping-by-sequencing, has provided precise information regarding the genes conferring resistance, which is valuable for gene discovery, allele mining, and shuttle breeding. This has expanded the possibilities for designing crop genomes with built-in resistance to abiotic stresses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe nine chapters in this volume, dedicated to different pulse crops, explore various types of abiotic stresses and their impact on the crops. They also enumerate the available genetic diversity with regard to abiotic stress resistance among available cultivars. Additionally, the potential gene pools for utilization in interspecific gene transfer are discussed. Classical genetics of stress resistance and traditional breeding methods are presented to transfer these traits to cultivated counterparts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSuccess stories of genetic engineering in developing abiotic stress-resistant crop varieties are highlighted. Molecular mapping of genes and QTLs underlying stress resistance is discussed, along with marker-assisted introgression into elite varieties. Genomics-aided techniques, such as genomic selection, allele mining, gene discovery, and gene pyramiding, are employed to develop adaptiv.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy unraveling these mechanisms and employing advanced genetic and genomic approaches, we can enhance crop resilience and contribute to sustainable agriculture. This book serves as a valuable resource for researchers, breeders, and policymakers in the field of crop improvement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 776g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 235 x 155 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783030910389\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2022\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44103003570426,"sku":"9783030910389","price":149.93,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_18c2ea4b-0fda-4da6-8080-6776bf780ce0.jpg?v=1669553719","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/genomic-designing-for-abiotic-stress-resistant-pulse-crops-9783030910389","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
