"Biotic stresses pose a major threat to crop productivity. Crops are challenged by a plethora of biotic\r\nstresses, but only a limited number of key pests and diseases cause the vast majority of economic\r\nlosses in a particular crop. Plant protection measures such as application of pesticides and deployment\r\nof resistant gene(s)/quantitative trait loci (QTLs) into cultivars have so far been quite successful\r\nin curtailing the losses; however, these measures have also led to the constant evolution of new\r\nbiotypes/pathotypes/strains/races of pest and disease organisms. Hence, there is a continuous need\r\nto identify genomic regions that can impart resistance against these variants. The availability of\r\nlarge-scale genomic resources in many crop species has enhanced our understanding on the path to\r\ndeveloping host-plant resistance. As a result, numerous race-specific gene(s) and QTLs have now\r\nbeen identified and cloned with the help of molecular markers. It is quite exciting that these genomic\r\nregions are being introgressed into breeding programs of many crops. The objective of this book is to\r\ncritically review the current availability and utilization of genomic tools for major biotic stresses in\r\nimportant cereals, legumes, vegetables, and tuber and oilseed crop. The book also summarizes the\r\nsuccess stories achieved through application of genomics-assisted breeding (GAB), as well as the\r\nscope for deployment of modem breeding methods such as marker-assisted backcrossing (MABC)\r\nand genomic selection in the era of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies, which have the\r\npotential to advance the genetic gains for enhancing resilience against biotic stress. This chapter\r\nsummarizes highlights of different chapters included in the book that is expected to be a resource\r\nfor young researchers, GAB practitioners, and policy makers for employing better strategies toward\r\nachieving food security."^^ .
