Omics in Plant Breeding

<p>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.</p> <p><i>Omics in Plant Breeding</i> 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.</p> <p>Accessible to advanced students, researchers, and professionals, <i>Omics in Plant Breeding</i> will<br /> be an essential entry point into this innovative and exciting field.</p> <p>• A valuable overview of high-throughput, genomics-based technologies and their applications to plant breeding</p> <p>• Each chapter explores a single methodology, allowing for detailed and thorough coverage</p> <p>• Coverage ranges from well-established methodologies, such as genomics and proteomics, to emerging technologies, including phenomics and physionomics</p> <p><b>Aluízio Borém</b> is a Professor of Plant Breeding at the University of Viçosa in Brazil.</p> <p><b>Roberto Fritsche-Neto</b> is a Professor of Genetics and Plant Breeding at the University of São Paulo in Brazil.</p>
