Genomics and post-genomics technologies - including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, next-generation sequencing-based genotyping, and mass spectrometry - are becoming increasingly important in agricultural research and, in particular, for the genetic improvement of crops for disease resistance. In this book, distinguished scientists from around the world provide an overview of the topic and critically analyze the omics technologies currently being used in agricultural research. The book reviews the practical applications and implications of these technologies in the genetic improvement of crops for resistance against various viral, bacterial, and fungal diseases of economic significance. Topics include: resistance to fungal diseases in lentil * proteomic studies in rice * metabolomics of disease resistance in crops * omics approachs in Brassica * resistance to planthopper-borne viruses * resistance to root-knot nematodes * complex oomycete plant interactions * omics of pathogen resistant plants * rice-Magnaporthe interaction * role of nitric oxide * overview of proteomics tools * pathogen resistance in legumes. In each case, the authors comprehensively describe the most relevant technology, the latest applications, and the most recent scientific research.
