商品描述
During the past 15 years, cellular and molecular approaches have emerged as valuable adjuncts to supplement and complement conventional breeding methods for a wide variety of crop plants. Biotechnology increasingly plays a role in the creation, conservation, characterization and utilization of genetic variability for germplasm enhancement. For instance, anther/microspore culture, somaclonal variation, embryo culture and somatic hybridization are being exploited for obtaining incremental improvement in the existing cultivars. In addition, genes that confer insect- and disease-resistance, abiotic stress tolerance, herbicide tolerance and quality traits have been isolated and re-introduced into otherwise sensitive or susceptible species by a variety of transgenic techniques. Together these transformative methodologies grant access to a greater repertoire of genetic diversity as the gene(s) may come from viruses, bacteria, fungi, insects, animals, human beings, unrelated plants or even be artificially derived. Remarkable achievements have been made in the production, characterization, field evaluation and commercialization of transgenic crop varieties worldwide. Likewise, significant advances have been made towards increasing crop yields, improving nutritional quality, enabling crops to be raised under adverse conditions and developing resistance to pests and diseases for sustaining global food and nutritional security. The overarching purpose of this 3-volume work is to summarize the history of crop improvement from a technological perspective but to do so with a forward outlook on further advancement and adaptability to a changing world. Our carefully chosen "case studies of important plant crops" intend to serve a diverse spectrum of audience looking for the right tools to tackle complicated local and global issues.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
在過去的15年中，細胞和分子方法已成為補充和輔助傳統育種方法的重要輔助工具，適用於各種作物植物。生物技術在創造、保護、特徵描述和利用遺傳變異以增強種質方面的角色日益重要。例如，花粉/微孢子培養、體細胞變異、胚胎培養和體細胞雜交等技術正在被利用，以獲得現有品種的漸進改進。此外，具有抗蟲和抗病能力、耐非生物胁迫、耐除草劑和品質特徵的基因，已通過各種轉基因技術被分離並重新引入到原本敏感或易感的物種中。這些變革性的方法使得我們能夠接觸到更廣泛的遺傳多樣性，因為這些基因可能來自病毒、細菌、真菌、昆蟲、動物、人類、無關的植物，甚至是人工衍生的。全球在轉基因作物品種的生產、特徵描述、田間評估和商業化方面取得了顯著成就。同樣，在提高作物產量、改善營養品質、使作物能夠在不利條件下生長以及發展對害蟲和疾病的抵抗力以維持全球食品和營養安全方面也取得了重大進展。本書的三卷本作品的總體目的是從技術的角度總結作物改良的歷史，但同時展望未來的進步和適應不斷變化的世界。我們精心挑選的「重要植物作物案例研究」旨在為尋求合適工具以應對複雜的地方和全球問題的多樣化讀者群體提供服務。
