Molecular Breeding and Bioinformatics cover

This book covers essential molecular techniques for crop improvement, including genotyping methods, genetic mapping, and marker-assisted selection. The book examines statistical tools for marker analysis, allele mining strategies, and gene pyramiding approaches. It explores comparative genomics, proteomics applications, and biotechnology methods including recombinant DNA technology and also includes:

  • Comprehensive coverage of molecular markers and genotyping techniques for crop improvement
  • Detailed statistical tools and methodologies for marker analysis and genetic mapping
  • Practical applications of marker-assisted selection and allele mining strategies
  • Integration of genomics, proteomics, and biotechnology in plant breeding programs
  • Current approaches to gene pyramiding and development of enhanced derived varieties

Additional chapters address nanotechnology applications, male sterility systems, intellectual property rights, and bioinformatics tools. Designed for students and researchers in plant breeding, genetics, and biotechnology programs.

This title has been co-published with Elite Publishing House. T&F does not sell or distribute the print versions in India.

“The book offers an insightful overview of two rapidly advancing fields that are reshaping modern agriculture. The work presents molecular breeding concepts alongside computational approaches, showing how the integration of genetics and bioinformatics is essential for developing resilient crop varieties.

Topics such as marker-assisted selection, genome mapping, and data-driven breeding strategies are presented systematically, ensuring good continuity and relevance. The book stands out for its focus on practical applications, linking laboratory research with field-level outcomes that directly impact food security and sustainable agriculture. The collaborative effort of the authors from diverse disciplines enriches the content and underscores the importance of interdisciplinary approaches in today’s agricultural research.”
