Preface (Second Edition)
Genetic improvement of available crop cultivars still plays a key role in plant breeding despite the continuous change in climatic conditions. Recent advances in marker technologies have shown to make the above hard task more accessible and achievable. However, researchers should carefully consider their breeding objectives and budgets before embracing the next-generation breeding strategies such as genetic mapping and marker-assisted selection. They should also weigh the relative strengths and weaknesses of these recent methods against the conventional approaches, which have shown their worth in several occasions during the past century. Hence, the final decision on designing an appropriate strategy to introduce desirable genetic variation in an elite cultivar of the given crop should consider several factors such as breeding objective, accessibility to the marker class, phenomics infrastructure, time available to release the variety, and, more importantly, financial plan. This book focuses on the above points and would help researchers to take informative and right decision by inculcating su
