Year: 2016

Type: book-chapter

Abstract: MAN-WAH LI, XINPENG QI, MENG NI, and HON-MING LAM 5.1 INTRODUCTION According to the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO), food production must be increased by 70% in the next 40 years to meet the increasing global demand [1]. Abiotic and biotic stresses are major limiting factors hampering crop productivity. Therefore, understanding the stress responses of crops using genomic information is important in bringing forth more effective crop improvement strategies.
