Cereal Crops

Audience is agronomists; plant geneticists and plant breeding professionals; crop physiologists, ecologists, and ecophysiologists; plant physiologists; horticultural scientists; those involved with grain and cereal crops and sustainable agriculture.

Since cereals, including rice, wheat, maize, barley, sorghum and millet, constitute the bulk of the diets of vegetarians and non-vegetarians around the world, further genetic improvement, breeding and plant genetic resources are all the more needed to ensure future food supplies.

This book focuses on cropping systems, genetics and genome engineering for higher crop production which is of international concern. It presents practical approaches for enhancing crop production in a sustainable way.
