Reviews “This book, with diverse coverage of various plant biotechnological aspects, covers both basic research (plant omics) as well as applied research (crop breeding). As such, it will serve scientists, researchers, and students working on basic as well as applied aspects of crop improvement. This book will also lead to better understanding of omics tools for mining potential trait regulators and their role in attaining sustainability in agriculture.” —From the Foreword by Dr. Nazeer Ahmed, Vice-Chancellor, Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences & Technology of Kashmir, India “This book is unique as it covers both basic aspects of biotechnological research as well as its applied aspects. Plant OMICS and Crop Breeding has covered a vast array of topics that include phenomics, genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics; moreover it has also chapters on molecular crop breeding. This book will also lead to better understanding of omics tools for mining potential trait regulators and their role in attaining sustainability in agriculture. This book will serve not only for students and researchers but also to the academicians working in the field of plant biotechnology.” “ —Muslima Nazir, Postdoctoral Fellow, Division of Biotechnology, Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology, Srinagar, India “An excellent book that covers many important topics of biotechnology. Various technological advances made in the field of biotechnology with their utilization for crop improvement had been highlighted. Moreover, there are some chapters on molecular breeding that may be helpful in understanding the applied aspect of plant biotechnology. As such, this volume, with diverse coverage of various plant biotechnological aspects, covers both basic research (plant omics) as well as applied research (crop breeding). It will serve scientists, researchers, and students working on basic as well as applied aspects of crop improvement.

AAP support has been truly important throughout the initial and final stages of the book. While the majority of the publishing work is done at the early stages, the final touches that include the last-minute corrections of the authors are extremely crucial to the quality the book tries to convey. The assistance of AAP during the last stages of corrections and communication with the authors was a very positive contributor to my state of mind during those stressful moments. I recommend the publishing experience with AAP to other editors of scientific material.” —Stavros Hatzopoulos, PhD, Hearing Science Laboratory, University Hospital of Ferrara, Ferrara, Italy AAP book title: Nanotechnologies: The Physics of Nanomaterials (2-volume set) “I was very pleased with the interaction and support of the team at Apple Academic Press.
