Introduction -- Conservation, Evaluation and Utilization of Biodiversity -- Identification of Traits, Genes and Crops of the Future -- Molecular Mapping and Breeding for Genes/QTLS Related to Climate Change -- Genomic Tools and Strategies for Breeding Climate Change Resilient Cereals -- Emerging Concepts and Strategies for Genomics and Breeding -- Genetic Engineering for Tolerance to Climate Change Related Traits -- Participatory Breeding for Climate Change Related Traits -- Evolutionary Breeding and Climate Change -- Bioinformatics Tools to Assist Breeding for Climate Change -- Facilitation of Future Research and Extension through Funding and Networking Support -- Climate change and intellectual property: Regulatory Issues -- The Social and Political Dimensions.
Climate change is expected to have a drastic impact on agronomic conditions including temperature, precipitation, soil nutrients, and the incidence of disease pests, to name a few. To face this looming threat, significant progress in developing new breeding strategies has been made over the last few decades. The first volume of Genomics and Breeding for Climate-Resilient Crops presents the basic concepts and strategies for developing climate-resilient crop varieties. Topics covered include: conservation, evaluation and utilization of biodiversity; identification of traits, genes and crops of the future; genomic and molecular tools; genetic engineering; participatory and evolutionary breeding; bioinformatics tools to support breeding; funding and networking support; and intellectual property, regulatory issues, social and political dimensions.
