<p>This book highlights modern strategies and methods to improve oilseed crops in the era of climate change, presenting the latest advances in plant molecular breeding and genomics-driven breeding.</p><p> </p><p>Spectacular achievements in the fields of molecular breeding, transgenics and genomics in the last three decades have facilitated revolutionary changes in oilseed- crop-improvement strategies and techniques. Since the genome sequencing of rice, as the first crop plant, in 2002, the genomes of about one dozen oilseed crops have been sequenced and more are to follow. This has made it possible to decipher the exact nucleotide sequence and chromosomal positions of agroeconomic genes. Most importantly, comparative genomics and genotyping-by-sequencing have opened up new vistas for exploring available biodiversity, particularly of wild crop relatives, for identifying useful donor genes.</p>
Climate-smart Soybean.- Dissection of drought tolerance traits in oilseed rape (Brassica napus L).- Climate-smart groundnuts.- Possibilities of adaptation of sunflower to climate chang.- Rape and Mustard for sustainable oilseed production.- Climate-smart Sesame.- Climate-Castor bean.- Climate-smart Flax.
