Systems Biology in Crop Improvement offers a detailed overview of how principles and methodologies from systems biology are transforming crop research and breeding. This volume, part of the Systems Biology in Agriculture and Plant Sciences series, explores the integration of omics technologies, computational modeling, and high-throughput phenotyping to deepen our understanding of plant responses and traits.
Addressing the urgent challenge of feeding a growing global population, the book emphasizes how systems biology enables insights into molecular, genetic, and environmental interactions that influence a crop's traits and performance. It discusses applications ranging from stress resilience-abiotic and biotic-to nutrient use efficiency, nutritional enhancement, and quality markers. The volume highlights innovative strategies such as genomic editing and synthetic biology, and how these advances can be translated into practical breeding programs.
Bringing together contributions from leading researchers and practitioners, Systems Biology in Crop Improvement aims to inspire new collaborations, innovations, and discoveries, ultimately contributing to a more sustainable and robust food system for future generations.
