Crop improvement

Crop improvement as a book category covers the science, methods and applications used to increase the productivity, quality, resilience and sustainability of cultivated plants. It spans traditional plant breeding and selection, genetics and genomics, molecular and biotechnological approaches (including marker‑assisted selection, genomic selection and gene editing), high‑throughput phenotyping and modeling, and agronomic practices that influence variety performance. Titles may address specific goals such as yield enhancement, disease and pest resistance, nutritional quality, stress tolerance (drought, heat, salinity), and adaptation to climate change, as well as seed systems, regulatory and socioeconomic aspects of cultivar adoption. The field is inherently interdisciplinary, drawing on plant biology, statistics, bioinformatics, ecology and social sciences, and books in this category range from textbooks and laboratory manuals to case studies, policy analyses and practical guides for breeders and farmers.
