Dr. Anirudh Kumar, PhD, is a research faculty member in the Department of Botany, Indira Gandhi National Tribal University (IGNTU), Amarkantak, MP, India. Over a 10 plus year career as a researcher in the area of plant molecular biology and plant pathology. He has received M.Sc. and Ph.D. degree from University of Hyderabad and post doctorate from Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB), Hyderabad, India and ARO Israel. His current research interests span from antioxidants studies of medicinal plants to plant pathology. He is author and co-author of several papers on different aspect of plant biology. He also teaches courses for B.Sc., M. Sc. and Ph.D. degree. For the past few years, his research group is trying to studies the phytochemical properties of native plants traditionally used by tribal healers of Amarkantak, MP, India. This book explores how the diverse omics technology autonomously and collectively would be used to expand the quantitative and qualitative traits of crop plants.



Dr. Rakesh Kumar is a plant biologist, Assistant Professor at Department of Life Sciences, Central University of Karnataka, India. He has received doctoral degree from University of Hyderabad-India, and an alumnus of International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics, India. He has made significant contribution in the area of plant biotechnology, and published several articles in high impact journals, and received research grants from national and international funding agencies. His expertise includes functional genomics approaches such as TILLING, sequencing, transcriptomics, QTL-seq, proteomics, and LC- and GC-MS. This book provides in-depth information related to OMICS based crop improvement.



Dr. Pawan Shukla completed his postgraduate and doctorate degree from University of Hyderabad. He was also a Dr. D. S. Kothari post-doctoral fellow at University of Hyderabad. Currently, he is associated
