Rice Research for Quality Improvement: Genomics and Genetic Engineering (eBook)
XVII, 777 Seiten
Springer Singapore (Verlag)
978-981-15-4120-9 (ISBN)
This book focuses on the conventional breeding approach, and on the latest high-throughput genomics tools and genetic engineering / biotechnological interventions used to improve rice quality. It is the first book to exclusively focus on rice as a major food crop and the application of genomics and genetic engineering approaches to achieve enhanced rice quality in terms of tolerance to various abiotic stresses, resistance to biotic stresses, herbicide resistance, nutritional value, photosynthetic performance, nitrogen use efficiency, and grain yield. The range of topics is quite broad and exhaustive, making the book an essential reference guide for researchers and scientists around the globe who are working in the field of rice genomics and biotechnology. In addition, it provides a road map for rice quality improvement that plant breeders and agriculturists can actively consult to achieve better crop production.
Aryadeep Roychoudhury is working as Assistant Professor at the Department of Biotechnology, St. Xavier's College (Autonomous), Kolkata, West Bengal, India. He received his B.Sc. (Hons.) in Botany from Presidency College, Kolkata, and M.Sc. in Biophysics and Molecular Biology, University of Calcutta, West Bengal, India. He did his Ph.D. from Bose Institute, Kolkata, under Jadavpur University, Kolkata. His Ph.D. thesis was mostly based on characterization of different salt-inducible genes in rice. Following his Ph.D. work, he joined as Research Associate (Postdoctorate) at the University of Calcutta, continuing with rice as model system. Dr. Roychoudhury is currently handling several government-funded projects on abiotic stress responses in rice and supervising five (05) Ph.D. students as Principal Investigator. To date, he has published over 110 articles in peer-reviewed journals and chapters in books of international and national repute. He is a regular reviewer of articles in high-impact, international journals, life member of different scientific associations and societies, and the recipient of the Young Scientist Award 2019, conferred upon him by International Foundation for Environment and Ecology, at the University of Allahabad, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh.
