Springer Genomics of Plant Genetic Resources Vol 2 Book

Human well-being depends on the effective use of plant genetic resources within breeding programs. This volume from Springer explores how modern genomics, sequencing, and bioinformatics provide new ways to study germplasm collections. By utilizing these advanced technologies, researchers can map and clone loci of interest and identify novel alleles to support crop development. This book addresses the essential need for extensive exploration of plant resources to release improved cultivars. It focuses on how genomic approaches can assist in enhancing crop productivity, food security, and nutritional quality. By bridging the gap between sequencing data and practical breeding purposes, this work provides a foundation for understanding how to better exploit available genetic diversity for global agricultural needs.
