Preface Growing world population and increased threats associated with a warming climate place high demands on plant breeders to rapidly develop resilient crops with stable yields across different environments. To meet global food demand, growers need to double crop pro- duction by 2050, a seemingly unrealistic goal with the current yield increase. Maize, rice, and wheat provide 60% of the energy intake for people around the globe. Although crops likericeandmaizehaveseensignificantdevelopmentofgenomicresourcesandunderstand- ingofgeneticcausesforagronomicallyimportanttraits,hexaploidwheatlagsinthisregard. The large genome of wheat has hampered progress, but its polyploid nature offers great untapped potential for the creation of functional variation. With advances in omics tech- nologiesand theadventofgeneediting, biotechnologyincerealcropsisacceleratingat an incrediblepace. Leading scientists with expertise ranging from cereal biotechnology and genomics to conventional breeding provide in this book either up-to-date methods used in respective programs or an overview of their research fields. In a stepwise manner, the reader is introduced to well-established and emerging techniques that can potentially streamline the discovery of genes responsible for agriculturally important traits in crops. We start withtherecentprogressingenomicsofselectedcropsfromthePoaceaefamily,highlighting approachesundertakentocreatethefirstpangenomeforbreadwheatandwhatcanbedone to streamline mining for genetic variation. Methods that utilize this variation are increas- ingly crucial for breeders. The reader is introduced to techniques widely used in conven- tional breeding, such as marker-assisted selection and mapping of quantitative trait loci, as well as recent advancements of genome-wide association studies. Next, we show how artificial intelligence can help with breeding by using machine learning for genomic selec- tion. Technologies that speed-up the breeding process, such as the production of doubled haploid plants through microspores, are of great interest to breeders. In addition to the variationthatoccursnaturally,welookatinducedmutagenesisthroughtheuseofchemicals, radiation, and transposable elements. Rapid high-throughput detection of natural and induced variations can be accomplished using PCR and Targeting Induced Local Lesions in Genomes (TILLING). Transcription factors play an essential role in regulating gene expression; therefore, the precise mapping of their position using methods such as DNA affinity purification sequencing (DAP-seq) is vital for functional genomics studies. With rapid advancements in gene editing, this technology is now making it into the breeders’ hands. Included methods describe approaches to construct CRISPR/Cas expression cas- settes for monocots using modular assembly systems and genome editing in wheat. A manifestation of genomic sequence at the phenotypic level is performed through proteins and their posttranslational modifications. Therefore, quantitative proteomics in cereals is gainingmomentumforacomprehensiveunderstandingofcropgenetics.Finally,phenotyp- ing is a crucial component of plant breeding, integrating crop development, growth, and yield.High-throughputphenomicsoffersapowerfultoolforbreederstoselecttraitsthatare eitherchallengingtoseeor notdetectablebytheeye.
