Modern Plant Breeding: Genomics, CRISPR and AI-Driven Crop Improvement

Modern Plant Breeding explores the transformation of crop improvement through the integration of classical breeding, genomics, CRISPR-based gene editing, and artificial intelligence. The book presents the scientific foundations, tools, and emerging applications that are reshaping the development of high-yielding, resilient, and climate-smart crop varieties.

Covering key themes such as genetic variability, molecular markers, genomic selection, phenomics, bioinformatics, precision breeding, and AI-assisted decision-making, this volume bridges theory with modern practice. It is designed as a useful resource for students, researchers, teachers, and professionals in plant breeding, genetics, biotechnology, and agricultural sciences.
