The book delves into post-genomics advances in potato improvement since the potato genome sequencing in 2011. It includes recent developments in the field of potato genetic resources, genes and SNP markers discovery, and the progress in next-generation breeding applying various omics technologies and modern sequencing tools. It covers cutting-edge technologies in potato - a global perspective,... Read more

Biography

Jagesh Kumar Tiwari has been associated with potato research for about 14 years on potato biotechnology including germplasm characterization, tissue culture, pre-breeding via somatic hybridization, breeding, molecular markers, gene/QTL mapping, functional genomics for late blight resistance, tuberization and nitrogen use efficiency, and genome sequencing of potato. He has received National/International awards viz., ICAR-Lal Bahadur Shastri Outstanding Young Scientist Award and the Endeavour Post-Doctoral Fellowship (Australia), and published  >150 research publications and authored/edited 4 books.
