Systems Biology in Crop Improvement: Emerging Tools and Technologies provides a comprehensive overview of the principles, methodologies, and applications of systems biology in the context of crop improvement. A volume in the Systems Biology in Agriculture and Plant Sciences series, it presents insights into the relationships that impact plant health and production. The task of feeding the world’s growing population continues to challenge our global food systems. Traditional methods of crop improvement have undoubtedly played a crucial role in boosting agricultural productivity, however, to meet the demands of the future, an approach is needed that delves deeper into the intricate workings of plants themselves. Systems biology has emerged as a transformative approach to understanding the complexity of biological systems, from molecular networks within cells to ecological interactions in agroecosystems. By integrating diverse data types, computational modelling, and advanced analytics, systems biology offers holistic insights into the underlying mechanisms governing crop growth, development, and response to environmental stimuli. Bringing together contributions from leading researchers and practitioners in the field, this book explores the multifaceted role of systems biology in deciphering the genetic, molecular, and environmental factors influencing crop traits and performance. Systems Biology in Crop Improvement: Emerging Tools and Technologies will inspire new collaborations, innovations, and discoveries that will ultimately contribute to a more sustainable and resilient food system for future generations.
