In the realm of plant science, genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) has emerged as a powerful tool for crop improvement, offering a comprehensive exploration of the latest technologies and methods in this field. This edited volume, penned by a team of distinguished researchers, delves into the intricate details of GBS, including advanced molecular markers, high-throughput genotyping platforms, whole genome resequencing, quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping, genome-wide association studies (GWAS), and genomic selection (GS).
The contributors to this volume provide a thorough introduction to molecular marker techniques and recent advancements in the technology, shedding light on the methods used to identify and characterize genetic variations in plants. They also delve into the genotyping of seeds while preserving their viability, a crucial aspect for crop improvement. Furthermore, the chapters explore the advancements in genomic selection, which involves the identification of genetic variants associated with desirable traits and their utilization in breeding programs.
The applications of GBS, GWAS, and GS in various crop categories, such as cereals, pulses, oilseeds, and commercial crops, are extensively discussed. The authors highlight the potential of these technologies to improve crop productivity, disease resistance, and nutritional quality, ultimately contributing to sustainable agriculture.
Genotyping by Sequencing for Crop Improvement serves as a valuable resource for researchers, students, and practitioners in plant science, providing a comprehensive understanding of the latest developments in GBS methods and their applications. It offers a thorough introduction to the field, covering traditional and advanced markers, genotyping platforms, whole genome resequencing, QTL mapping, GWAS, and GS. Additionally, the practical discussions and case studies provide valuable insights into the opportunities and challenges associated with high throughput genotyping in polyploid crops.
In conclusion, this edited volume is a must-read for anyone interested in advancing their knowledge in plant genotyping and crop improvement. It provides a comprehensive and up-to-date exploration of GBS technologies and methods, offering valuable insights into the future of plant breeding and agriculture.
