      abstract = {Molecular Breeding for Sustainable Crop Improvement,  Volume 2 focuses on integration of advances in genetics,  cytogenetics, molecular biology and biotechnology aimed at  alien gene introgression for genetic improvement of major  crop species at molecular level to help overcome the  limitations associated with conventional plant breeding.  This book includes articles on the availability and  application of modern genomic approaches, tools, and  resources in a precision breeding approach. The  contributions involve the use of molecular markers and  linkage, QTL and association mapping of agronomic traits to  identify candidate genes and to design functional markers  for marker assisted selection (MAS), gene pyramiding using  MAS coupled with marker assisted back cross breeding  (MABB), next generation sequencing (NGS) to generate genome  wide markers and screen new alleles, and targeting induced  local lesions in genomes (TILLING) or ecotype TILLING  (EcoTILLING) for the screening of either mutant or natural  germplasm collections to integrate genomic information into  directional and selective breeding in crops to maximize  genetic gains. Breeders, taxonomists, geneticists,  cytogeneticists, molecular biologists and biotechnologists  are going to greatly benefit from this book. We sincerely  hope that this book will serve as a milestone in the  precision breeding of crops to achieve meaningful plant  genetic improvement.},
