This book, Rice Science: Biotechnological and Molecular Advancements, addresses the recent biotechnological and molecular tools and techniques that are utilized to increase rice production. It is aimed to inform industry professionals such as engineers and technologists, academics, and others who are involved in the fields of agricultural and plant science on the most recent developments.

A significant crop in our global society, rice is a staple food product for over half of the world’s population. New technologies are being researched and utilized for increasing the overall production of strong rice crops throughout the world. This book focuses on the new areas of research that are related to the most recent biotechnological and molecular techniques that have been discovered to aid in this endeavor. The researchers who have contributed to this compendium are international leaders in their respective fields, which span the full breadth of disciplines involved in this agricultural and plant-based science.

The book is based on the most innovative content and research that is available currently about rice production. The original research included is strengthened through the addition of surveys, reviews, success stories and other aspects that impact the global agricultural industry.

Rice Science: Biotechnological and Molecular Advancements is broken up into four parts, each devoting multiple chapters to various advancements in rice production. Each chapter of the book highlights recent trends in the field that are supported by careful and detailed research. These trends will aid readers in understanding the field as well as assisting in their own research ideas.

The chapters help connect the interdisciplinary fields of research that contribute to data on rice production and were carefully selected for inclusion by the editors to help fill the gap in the research.
