Se ha avanzado considerablemente en el desarrollo de nuevas variedades de arroz de la India oriental, aunque la literatura sobre este tema es limitada. La evidencia de esto es el desarrollo y la liberación de muchas nuevas variedades mejoradas. Al menos 20 de estas variedades han sido liberados en la India de tierras bajas de secano traslado Network Cría Oriental (EIRLSBN). Además de producir nuevas variedades, esta red ha llevado a cabo una importante investigación sobre muchas características de alta prioridad y ha identificado los nuevos padres donantes, grupos de madurez clave para la región, las líneas de élite que se pueden trasplantar en tiempos normales o retardada, y perfiles de variedades de destino para este de la India. Más importante aún, la red ha sido un modelo ejemplar para las alianzas sinérgicas de mejoramiento del arroz. Demuestra los beneficios de la colaboración científica regional e internacional para trabajar para superar la inseguridad alimentaria. En efecto, ha influido en la formación y la estructura de muchas otras redes de cría.
This edited book is a comprehensive compilation of principles, conventional and molecular approaches used to develop improved varieties and hybrids of major crops in light of their origin, evolution, taxonomy, production and productivity and need by human civilization. The book covers breeding prospects of all important food and commercial crops. It highlights the importance of breeding tools and techniques in ensuring food security. This book is of interest to teachers, researchers, agriculture scientists, capacity builders, and policymakers. Also, the book serves as additional reading material for undergraduate and graduate students of agriculture, soil science, and environmental sciences. National and international agricultural scientists and policymakers will find this book useful.
This book collates the basic and advanced concepts of plant biotechnology and genomics along with the future trends. It discusses the combination of conventional breeding techniques with genomic tools and approaches leading to a new genomics-based plant breeding technology supporting crop plants that respond better to biotic and abiotic stress, and pathogen attacks. Plant genomics play an important role in developing more efficient plant cultivars which are essential for the neo green revolution needed to feed the world’s rapidly growing population. Plant genomic data is being utilized in genetic engineering to ensure that better and resilient varieties of crops are available ensuring food security. This book is of immense interest to teachers, researchers, crop scientists, capacity builders, and policy makers. Also, the book serves as additional reading material for undergraduate and graduate students of agriculture, biotechnology, genomics, soil science, and environmental sciences. National and International agricultural scientists and policy makers will also find this to be a useful read.
Population growth alone dictates that global food supplies must increase by over 50% in coming decades. Advances in technology offer an array of opportunities to meet this demand, but history shows that these can be fully realised only within an enabling policy environment. Sustaining Global Food Security makes a compelling case that recent technological breakthroughs can move the planet towards a secure and sustainable food supply only if new policies are designed that allow their full expression. Bob Zeigler has brought together a distinguished set of scientists and policy analysts to produce well-referenced chapters exploring international policies on genetic resources, molecular genetics, genetic engineering, crop breeding and protection, remote sensing, the changing landscape of agricultural policies in the world’s largest countries, and trade. Those entering the agricultural sciences and those who aspire to influence public policy during their careers will benefit from the insights of this unique set of experiences and perspectives.
The Rice Genetics Collection of past symposia and other selected literature contains nearly 4,400 pages of searchable information on rice genetics and cytogenetics published by the IRRI and its partners since 1964. In addition to the five genetics symposia held at 5-year intervals since 1985, the collection contains classic publications that kicked off significant reporting on these subjects in the early 1960s. This collection is a comprehensive and historical documentation on the subject of rice genetics, spanning 45 years of research and scholarly work.Held in 2005 and published two years later, Rice Genetics V contains 23 chapters from various contributors on topics dealing with rice genetic research, including rice as a model genome for cereal research, structural genomics and resources, developmental biology and gene regulation, applied genetics, and functional genomics and rice improvement. A brief overview of the past five Rice Genetics symposia, spanning the years 1985-2005, is fittingly included at the end.

We talk of next generationn DNA sequencing and micro array. R was created by "Rossihaka and Robert Gentleman" at university of Auckland (New Zealand) currently developed by R development core team
Can hunger be a good business? Yes, and in fact, it is the only business that has ever been. Whatever the business you are in, you are in the hunger business: hunger for food, hunger for clothing, hunger for transportation, etc. This book extends the notion of Social Entrepreneurship and places it into a bigger picture: the entrepreneurship for the masses. The book revisits every aspect of business administration (microeconomics, marketing, operations and innovation) and turns them into powerful tools to help normal people make the World around them a better place. The book brings with it three key innovations: - A presentation of Marketing in a way that can be understood even by children; - A step by step innovation process that can turn anyone into a new Steve Jobs; - A pure excel-based operation simulation model. All the revenues generated from the book sale will be used exclusively in the financing of social enterprises around the World through the crowd funding portal www.WOHAOO.com.
