The genus Brassica belongs to the mustard family whose members are known as cruciferous vegetables, cabbages or mustard plants. Rapeseed-mustard is world?s third most important source of edible oil after soybean and oil palm. It has worldwide acceptance owing to its rare combination of health promoting factors. It has very low levels of saturated fatty acids which make it the healthiest edible oil that is commonly available. Apart from this, it is rich in antioxidants by virtue of tocopherols and phytosterols presence in the oil. The high omega 3 content reduces the risk of atherosclerosis/heart attack. Conventional breeding methods have met with limited success in Brassica because yield and stress resilience are polygenic traits and are greatly influenced by environment. Therefore, it is imperative to accelerate the efforts to unravel the biochemical, physiological and molecular mechanisms underlying yield, quality and tolerance towards biotic and abiotic stresses in Brassica. To exploit its fullest potential, systematic efforts are needed to unlock the genetic information for new germplasms that tolerate initial and terminal state heat coupled with moisture stress. For instance, wild relatives may be exploited in developing introgressed and resynthesized lines with desirable attributes. Exploitation of heterosis is another important area which can be achieved by introducing transgenics to raise stable CMS lines. Doubled haploid breeding and marker assisted selection should be employed along with conventional breeding. Breeding programmes aim at enhancing resource use efficiency, especially nutrient and water as well as adoption to aberrant environmental changes should also be considered. Biotechnological interventions are essential for altering the biosynthetic pathways for developing high oleic and low linolenic lines. Accordingly, tools such as microspore and ovule culture, embryo rescue, isolation of trait specific genes especially for aphid, Sclerotinia and alternaria blight resistance, etc. along with identification of potential lines based on genetic diversity can assist ongoing breeding programmes. In this book, we highlight the recent molecular, genetic and genomic interventions made to achieve crop improvement in terms of yield increase, quality and stress tolerance in Brassica, with a special emphasis in Rapeseed-mustard. 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aPlant breeding 606 $aPlant physiology 606 $aPlant genetics 606 $aNutrition 606 $aAgriculture$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L11006 606 $aPlant Breeding/Biotechnology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L24060 606 $aPlant Physiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L33020 606 $aPlant Genetics and Genomics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L32020 606 $aNutrition$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C18000 606 $aPlantes$2thub 606 $aAgricultura$2thub 606 $aGenètica vegetal$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aAgriculture. 615 0$aPlant breeding. 615 0$aPlant physiology. 615 0$aPlant genetics. 615 0$aNutrition. 615 14$aAgriculture. 615 24$aPlant Breeding/Biotechnology. 615 24$aPlant Physiology. 615 24$aPlant Genetics and Genomics. 615 24$aNutrition. 615 7$aPlantes. 615 7$aAgricultura. 615 7$aGenètica vegetal 676 $a633.85 702 $aWani$b Shabir Hussain$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aThakur$b Ajay Kumar$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aJeshima Khan$b Yasin$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910409705603321 996 $aBrassica Improvement$92022560 997 $aUNINA
