"The emerging research field of "plant speed breeding" is promising to meet the future demand for crop improvement in an efficient and effective manner. The process accelerates breeding and research programs through the shortening of the generation time of crops. This book integrates achievements of plant speed breeding technologies with an emphasis on the fundamental and advanced systems for genome editing, functional genomics, controlled-environment growth chambers, genomic and phenotypic selection methods, and high-throughput technologies and the applications in significant crops, such as Arabidopsis, rice, wheat, maize, and soybean. This book is an ideal reference on plant speed breeding technologies for graduate students, teachers, researchers, and experts in the field of plant sciences, plant breeding as well as agronomy and agriculture"--
