Plant Small RNA for Food Crops provides
foundational insights into the role of small RNA in food crops in
varying environmental conditions and how it can help in developing
molecular frameworks to support agricultural sustainability to feed the
world's population. Small RNA populations have been widely identified in
various plants and have been reported to be involved in regulating the
molecular functioning of plants and their responses for biotic and
abiotic environmental factors. Until now, however, a detailed
compilation of role of small RNAs in food crops growth, yield and
environmental responses had been unavailable.
This
book provides a detailed description of role of various small RNAs
whose utilization in a range of food crops may serve to improve
sustainability, productivity, and maintenance during environmental
stress conditions. It brings together the reported small RNAs along with
their applications specific to food crops, but also covers recent
studies, innovations and future perspectives.
- Provides identification and characterization of small RNA in a variety of food crops
- Emphasizes molecular mechanisms affected by small RNA and their application in supporting growth, survival and productivity
- Presents a comprehensive view of small RNA mediated genomics, metabolomics, proteomics and physiology of food crops
