Discover strategies to develop crop plants with specific traits needed to meet the specific challenges.

Climate change poses an existential threat to global food supplies, with even modest increases in global temperature potentially spelling disaster for crop productivity. Plant breeders have applied traditional methods and developed new crop varieties to maintain productivity under specific conditions, but there is an urgent need to go much further. We must harness the broadest possible range of genomic data and crop breeding practices to create the next generation of resilient food crops.

Custom-Designed Crop Breeding highlights the use of omics-based knowledge, precision genetics, and molecular techniques to breed new climate-resistant crops. Beginning with an overview of both present and future scenarios in which functional genomics is applied to crops, it moves through crop breeding techniques, design of crops for stress tolerance, and more. The result is an essential tool in the fight for a sustainable food supply.

Custom-Designed Crop Breeding: Volume 1 — Advanced Technologies offers a comprehensive exploration of cutting-edge advancements driving modern crop improvement. This volume highlights innovative methodologies in genomics, climate-resilient breeding strategies, and the transformative role of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in precision agriculture. Spanning diverse topics, including genomic tools, high-throughput phenotyping, bioinformatics integration, and next-gen AI-driven predictions, this book serves as an essential resource for researchers, breeders, and professionals seeking to revolutionize agricultural practices for sustainability and productivity.

Custom-Designed Crop Breeding: Volume 2 — Improved Traits delves into innovative strategies for engineering crops with enhanced traits to address global agricultural challenges. This volume is structured around three critical themes: abiotic stress tolerance, biotic stress resistance, and improved nutritional and pharmaceutical quality. Edited by leading experts, it offers a thorough exploration of advanced techniques like haplotype-based breeding, genomic selection, and root system optimization, along with the development of designer crops for resilience, sustainability, and functional applications.

Custom-Designed Crop Breeding readers will also find:

  • Designer crop solutions for abiotic and biotic stresses, including drought, salinity, insects, and fungal diseases.
  • Highlights on the development of crops tailored for functional foods, herbal, and aromatic applications.
  • Presents the latest methodologies, such as haplotype-based breeding, genomic selection, and root architecture optimization for improved yield and resilience.

Custom-Designed Crop Breeding is ideal for professionals and researchers interested in genetic improvements of crop plants based on innovative breeding technologies.
