Current Innovations in Genetics and Plant Breeding (Volume - 1), edited by Dr. S.P. Giri, presents a thorough exploration of groundbreaking developments in plant genetic research and breeding methodologies. This volume delves into essential topics including genome editing tools like CRISPR/Cas9, TALENs, and Zinc Finger Nucleases, alongside advanced omics technologies—genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics. The book highlights the integration of molecular tools with traditional breeding practices to accelerate crop improvement. With insightful chapters contributed by leading scientists, the volume covers genome annotation, pan-genomics, reverse genetics, and male sterility for hybrid development. It also discusses recent applications in mutational breeding and gene function identification. The content provides a valuable foundation for understanding modern breeding strategies aimed at improving yield, resilience, and nutritional quality in crops. This work is a vital reference for researchers, educators, and students engaged in plant genetics, molecular biology, and sustainable agriculture.
