內容簡介

Cotton Breeding and Biotechnology presents information on one of the most economically important crops of the world, cotton. This book contains chapters on the history of cotton; breeding approaches; technologies for increasing germination, crop growth and yield; and fiber quality issues. It emphasizes sustainable development in the cotton industry analysing the progress of breeding technologies under environmental adversity. The book explores the national and global status of cotton crop, including cotton production, possible impacts of climate change, and the vulnerability of cotton to pest infestations and disease attacks.

Features

  • Focuses on cotton breeding and biotechnology
  • Proposes ideas, data, and strategies to mount breeding programs for enhancing cotton production
  • Details strategies for cotton quality improvement against abiotic and biotic stresses
  • Emphasizes the revival of cotton in Pakistan and South Asian region

This book is useful to researchers, cotton breeders and growers, farmers, and the agriculture industry.

Dr. Zulqurnain Khan is an Assistant Professor in the Institute of Plant Breeding and Biotechnology (IPBB), MNS University of Agriculture, Multan (MNSUAM), Pakistan. Dr. Khan earned his PhD in Biotechnology from University of Agriculture, Faisalabad (UAF), Pakistan during 2017. He is the first PhD candidate from Pakistan having his thesis on genome editing. He has been working in the field of genome editing since 2012. His research focuses on using genome editing tools (TALEs, TALENs, Cas9, dCas9 and multiplexed CRISPR/Cas9) for resistance against begomoviruses using model plants such as Arabidopsis and Nicotiana benthamiana. He is also using CRISPR/Cas9 technology for genetic improvement in cereal crops for abiotic and biotic stress resistance. He has published one book chapter, two review articles, and three research articles in international peer reviewed journals. Dr Khan received IRSIP fellowship from Higher Education Commission (HEC), Pakistan during his PhD and worked as visiting researcher with Professor Caixia Gao at the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), Beijing, China. Dr Khan has been engaged in teaching various courses in the field of biotechnology, breeding, molecular biology, genetics and genome editing since 2018. Dr. Khan has recently submitted a book as editor to Springer Nature entitled "CRISPR Crops: The Future of Food Security".

Professor Zulfiqar Ali is a Professor of Plant Breeding and Biotechnology and Director of Office of Research, Innovation and Commercialization (ORIC) in MNS University of Agriculture, Multan (MNSUAM), Pakistan.
