The breeding approaches for crop improvement programs are dependent on the availability and accessibility of genetic variation, either spontaneous or induced by the mutagens. Plant breeders, agronomists, and geneticists are under constant pressure to expand food production by employing innovative breeding strategies to enhance yield, adaptability, nutrition, resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. In conventional breeding approaches, introgression of genes in crop varieties is laborious and time-consuming. Nowadays, new innovative plant breeding techniques such as molecular breeding and plant biotechnology, supplement the traditional breeding approaches to achieve the desired goals of enhanced food production. With the advent of recent molecular tools like genomics, transgenics, molecular marker-assisted back-crossing, TILLING, Eco-TILLING, gene editing, CRISPR CAS, non-targeted protein abundant comparative proteomics, genome wide association studies have made possible mapping of important QTLs, insertion of transgenes, reduction of linkage drags, and manipulation of genome. In general, conventional and modern plant breeding approaches would be strategically ideal for developing new elite crop varieties to meet the feeding requirement of the increasing world population. This book highlights the latest progress in the field of plant breeding, and their applicability in crop improvement. The basic concept of this 2-volume work is to assess the use of modern breeding strategies in supplementing conventional breeding toward the development of elite crop varieties, for obtaining desired goals of food production. 606 $aPlant biotechnology 606 $aPlant genetics 606 $aPlant molecular biology 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aGenetics 606 $aPlant Biotechnology 606 $aPlant Genetics 606 $aPlant Molecular Biology 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aGenetics and Genomics 615 0$aPlant biotechnology. 615 0$aPlant genetics. 615 0$aPlant molecular biology. 615 0$aAgriculture. 615 0$aGenetics. 615 14$aPlant Biotechnology. 615 24$aPlant Genetics. 615 24$aPlant Molecular Biology. 615 24$aAgriculture. 615 24$aGenetics and Genomics. 676 $a631.523 700 $aRaina$b Aamir$01381890 701 $aWani$b Mohammad Rafiq$01381891 701 $aLaskar$b Rafiul Amin$01381892 701 $aTomlekova$b Nasya$01381893 701 $aKhan$b Samiullah$01381894 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910736979503321 996 $aAdvanced Crop Improvement, Volume 1$93424727 997 $aUNINA
