To face this looming threat, significant progress in developing new breeding strategies has been made over the last few decades. The second volume of Genomics and Breeding for Climate-Resilient Crops describes various genomic and breeding approaches for the genetic improvement of the major target traits. Topics covered include: flowering time; root traits; cold, heat and drought tolerance; water use efficiency; flooding and submergence tolerance; disease and insect resistance; nutrient use efficiency; nitrogen fixation; carbon sequestration; and greenhouse gas emissions.Plant breedingGenomicsClimatic changesPlant breeding.Genomics.Climatic changes.581.232633.104233Kole Chittaranjan871409MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910741151803321Genomics and breeding for climate-resilient crops4191424UNINA
