Plant Small RNA in Food Crops 1st Edition

Capture a new frontier in crop science with Plant Small RNA in Food Crops, 1st Edition by Praveen Guleria, Vineet Kumar, and Beixin Mo — a definitive guide that brings cutting-edge small RNA research to practical crop improvement.

This authoritative volume demystifies the role of small RNAs — microRNAs, siRNAs and related regulators — in shaping plant development, stress responses, and pathogen defense. Clear, accessible chapters blend molecular mechanisms with applied strategies, showing how RNA-mediated regulation can be harnessed for enhanced yield, disease resistance, and climate resilience in major food crops such as rice, wheat, maize, soybean and horticultural staples.

Written for researchers, plant breeders, agronomists, graduate students and biotech professionals, the book translates complex science into actionable insights. Detailed case studies, methodological overviews, and discussions of regulatory and translational challenges make it an indispensable resource for laboratories, universities and industry teams focused on food security across regions — from South Asia and Southeast Asia to Africa, Latin America and North America.

Why this book matters now: as global agriculture confronts evolving pests, extreme weather and demand for sustainable intensification, understanding small RNA pathways opens targeted, efficient routes to crop improvement. The authors’ combined expertise delivers both theoretical depth and practical relevance, bridging lab discoveries with field applications.
