Omics in Plant Breeding [EPUB ebook] 

Computational and high-throughput methods, such as genomics,
proteomics, and transcriptomics, known collectively as
‘-omics, ‘ have been used to study plant biology for
well over a decade now. As these technologies mature, plant and
crop scientists have started using these methods to improve crop
varieties. Omics in Plant Breeding provides a timely introduction
to key omicsbased methods and their application in plant
breeding.
Omics in Plant Breeding is a practical and accessible
overview of specific omics-based methods ranging from metabolomics
to phenomics. Covering a single methodology within each chapter,
this book provides thorough coverage that ensures a strong
understanding of each methodology both in its application to, and
improvement of, plant breeding.
Accessible to advanced students, researchers, and professionals,
Omics in Plant Breeding will
be an essential entry point into this innovative and exciting
field.
* A valuable overview of high-throughput, genomics-based
technologies and their applications to plant breeding
* Each chapter explores a single methodology, allowing for
detailed and thorough coverage
* Coverage ranges from well-established methodologies,
such as genomics and proteomics, to emerging technologies,
including phenomics and physionomics
