4194Crop Genomics for Global Food Security
Population growth and climate change generated stresses are indicating a need for immediate action regarding the improvement of crops to guarantee food security in developing countries. Genomics tools have uncovered important traits that can provide gains to crop cultivars in the different parts of the globe. Translational genomics can help accelerate the connection between trait identification and field applications.
