AgriGenomics

Revolutionizing Agriculture through Genetic Insights

532 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This volume provides an application-driven perspective on how cutting-edge genomic science can reshape crop and livestock production for sustainability and resilience. It begins with foundational chapters on sequencing technologies, from Sanger and next-generation sequencing to emerging long-read platforms, before advancing through key omics layers: epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics and functional genomics. Further, it explores bioinformatics tools essential for data interpretation and highlights innovations such as CRISPR-Cas systems and AI-driven genomic analytics. Uniquely, this book bridges molecular science with real-world agricultural applications. The presented case studies illustrate genomic selection, marker-assisted breeding and microbiome engineering for crop improvement, livestock health and biodiversity conservation. Additionally, the chapters address ethical, regulatory and socio-economic dimensions, ensuring readers understand both the scientific and policy frameworks shaping agri-genomic adoption globally.

This volume is designed for researchers, graduate students, breeders and agri-tech professionals. It also serves as a reference for courses spanning agricultural genomics, biotechnology, molecular biology, genetics and bioinformatics. By combining conceptual clarity with actionable insights, it equips readers to harness genomic innovations for climate-smart, sustainable agriculture.
