Rice Genomics, Genetics and Breeding : Callisto Reference : 9781641165273 : 1641165278 : 01 Mar 2022 : Rice is the seed of primarily two species of grass, namely, Oryza sativa and Oryza glaberrima. Oryza sativa is popularly known as Asian rice while the common name for Oryza glaberrima is African rice. The study of rice genomics deals with the entirety of genes present in it. Rice genetics focuses on the transfer of DNA from one generation to the other. Rice breeding is involved in a number of objectives such as increasing the quality, yield and resistance to biotic and abiotic stress. This book unfolds the innovative aspects of genomics, genetics and breeding of rice which will be crucial for the progress of this field in the future. It consists of contributions made by international experts. The book is appropriate for students seeking detailed information in this area as well as for experts.
