Sommario/riassunto

This book addresses the global issue of food security for the year 2050, when the population is expected to rise to 10 billion people. It is estimated that by year 2025 itself, the number of people experiencing acute hunger will rise to 270 million due to food crisis. Enhancing the existing sustainable agriculture activities to increase global food production is thus a necessity for achieving the sustainable development goal of zero hunger. This book discusses the creation of highly annotated crop pan-genomes that provide a snapshot of the genetic diversity. The advancements in genomic-assisted breeding techniques which enables restoration of a specie's lost gene repertoire are also covered. The progression of agriculture to automation or digitalization through high-throughput phenotyping techniques and big data analytical tools like artificial intelligence and machine learning is also discussed. Other important topics covered include systems biology approach, speed breeding, multiomics data interpretation and multidisciplinary breeding platforms. This book is a reference book for students, researchers, scientists and policymakers working in the field of agriculture, plant breeding and global food security.

Sommario/riassunto

Architectural facades now have the potential to be literally kinetic, through automated sunscreens and a range of animated surfaces. This book explores the aesthetic potential of these new types of moving



facades. Critique of theory and practice in architecture is combined here with ideas from kinetic art of the 1960's. From this background the basic principles of kinetics are defined and are used to generate experimental computer animations. By classifying the animations, a theory of kinetic form called 'state change' is developed. This design research provides a unique and timely resource for those interested in the capacity of kinetics to enliven the public face of architecture.
