The book consists of 29 chapters written by 90 experts from 15 countries that represent three-fourths of the globe. In the introductory chapter (Chap. 1), Dr. Agrawal and colleagues have described the omics of model plants where genomics, proteomics, transcriptomics, and metabolomics of model plants such as Arabidopsis, rice, and maize are dealt in detail. Further, this chapter also provides how these technology derived knowledge can be used for transgenomics, mapping for biotic and abiotic stresses, and marker assisted selection for crop improvement. In Chap. 2, Dr. Cozzolino’s group has given a nice overview on the most commonly used spectroscopy techniques such as NIR, MIR, and Raman in plant omic analysis. To make the chapter more resourceful, Dr. Cozzolino has also demonstrated instrumentations and analytic software for these spectroscopy techniques. The hot topic, next generation sequencing …
