Rice Research for Quality Improvement: Genomics and Genetic Engineering

Know about the book -

Rice Research for Quality Improvement: Genomics and Genetic Engineering is written by Aryadeep Roychoudhury and published by Springer Nature. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 9811553378 (ISBN 10) and 9789811553370 (ISBN 13).

This book focuses on the conventional breeding approach, and on the latest high-throughput genomics tools and genetic engineering / biotechnological interventions used to improve rice quality. It is the first book to exclusively focus on rice as a major food crop and the application of genomics and genetic engineering approaches to achieve enhanced rice quality in terms of tolerance to various abiotic stresses, resistance to biotic stresses, herbicide resistance, nutritional value, photosynthetic performance, nitrogen use efficiency, and grain yield. The range of topics is quite broad and exhaustive, making the book an essential reference guide for researchers and scientists around the globe who are working in the field of rice genomics and biotechnology. In addition, it provides a road map for rice quality improvement that plant breeders and agriculturists can actively consult to achieve better crop production.
