Von der hinteren Coverseite

Genomics, Transcriptomics, Proteomics and Metabolomics of Crop Plants presents currents operational methods applied to model crop plants. Including subcellular organelles, DNA fingerprinting and barcoding, sRNA, gene expression, rhizosphere engineering, marker assisted and 5G breeding, plant-microorganism interactions, stress signaling and responses the book highlights important factors that are often overlooked and explores the latest in research.

Biotechnological interventions play a significant role in the improvement of crop yields and quality. Crops have been engineered to produce valuable enzymes, heterologous proteins, antibodies and other benefits. Recent breakthroughs in high-throughput approaches have revolutionized this research area and shifted the focus towards OMICS approaches, such as genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics. Genomics, Transcriptomics, Proteomics and Metabolomics of Crop Plants explores cutting-edge approaches for immediate application in new research such as OMICS, genome-wide transcriptome profiling, bioinformatics and database, DNA fingerprinting and barcoding, sRNA, gene expression, genome editing, diagnostics, rhizosphere engineering, marker assisted and 5G breeding, crop plant-microorganism interactions, stress signalling and responses. Additionally, the book describes opportunities to manipulate crop plants genetic and metabolic systems, while also exploring the related bioethical and biosafety issues. These topics are chosen and covered in detail to fill the gap in this understanding of crop molecular biology.
