Allele Mining for Genomic Designing of Cereal Crops: Nextgen Agriculture

Editat de Chittaranjan Kole, Sharat Kumar Pradhan, Vijay K. Tiwari
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 mai 2024
This book deliberates on the concept, strategies, tools, and techniques of allele mining in cereal crops and its application potential in genome elucidation and improvement, including studying allele evolution, discovery of superior alleles, discerning new haplotypes, assessment of intra- and interspecific similarity, and studies of gene expression and gene prediction. Available gene pools in global germplasm collections specifically consisting of wild allied species and local landraces for almost all major crops have facilitated allele mining. Development of advanced genomic techniques including PCR-based allele priming and Eco-TILLING-based allele mining are being widely used now for mining superior alleles. Allele's discovery has become more relevant now for employing molecular breeding to develop designed crop varieties matching consumer needs and with genome plasticity to adapt the climate change scenarios. All these concepts and strategies along with precise success stories are presented in the chapters dedicated to the major cereal crops.
  1. The first book on the novel strategy of allele mining in cereal crops for precise breeding
  2. Presents genomic strategies for mining superior alleles underlying agronomic traits from genomic resources
  3. Depicts case studies of PCR-based allele priming and Eco-Tilling-based allele mining
  4. Elaborates on gene discovery and gene prediction in major cereal crops
This book will be useful to the students and faculties in various plant science disciplines including genetics, genomics, molecular breeding, agronomy, and bioinformatics; the scientists in seed industries; and the policymakers and funding agencies interested in crop improvement.

Dr. Vijay Tiwari is an assistant professor and small grain breeder at the University of Maryland College Park. His major research interest is focused on genetics and genomics of small grain crops with emphasis on wheat, barley, and triticale. His program integrates genomic tools and germplasm development to achieve the goals of sustainable agriculture. Identification of novel genes and alleles against abiotic and biotic stresses is a key step to perform genetic improvement of crop plants. One of his research objectives involves genomics enabled gene discovery of important genes and alleles playing vital role against abiotic and biotic stresses in small grain crops. His research is also focused on enhancing yield and yield contributing factors in bread wheat through the discovery and integration of some key genes playing an important role in spike morphology and grain number per spikelet. Vijay’s program deploys new genes and alleles associated with agronomically important traits to improve and develop high-yielding MD wheat and triticale cultivars.
