Omics Technologies and Crop Improvement

Omics technologies are modern approaches that give insight into the plant genome and its analysis using DNA-based methods for variety identification, RNA interference, elicitor biotechnology, and marker-assisted selection and breeding applications in some major crops. This book reviews data on food sciences and omics and introduces researchers to the benefits of using these technologies. It covers a wide range of crop science categories and is organized to give a broad view on how omics can help crop science and horticulture.
