Cereal Grains Volume 2
Germplasm, Agronomy, Breeding and Bio-Waste Research in Cereal Grains
Cereals crops such as wheat, rice, corn, barley, rye, oats, and millet are the base of the world's food supply. Not only are they important sources of human and animal feed but they are also useful for fuel production. Over the past 50 years, cereals have emerged as rapidly evolving crops because of new technologies and advances in agronomy, breeding, biotechnology, genetics, and so on. Population growth and climate change have led to new challenges, among which are feeding the growing global population and mitigating adverse effects on the environment. One way to deal with these issues is through sustainable cereal production. This book, the second installation in a two-volume work, discusses ways to achieve sustainable production of cereals via agronomy, breeding, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics. Chapters review research, examine challenges, and present future prospects in the field.
