This book will cover several topics to elaborate how proteomics may enhance agricultural productivity. These include crop and food proteomics, farm animal proteomics, aquaculture, microorganisms and insect proteomics. It will also cover several technical advances, which may address the current need for comprehensive proteome analysis.An emerging field of the proteomics aim is to integrate knowledge from basic sciences and to translate it into agricultural applications to solve issues related to economic values of farm animals, crops, food security, health, and energy sustainability. Given the wealth of information generated and to some extent applied in agriculture, there is the need for more efficient and broader channels to freely disseminate the information to the scientific community.

  Dr. Ghasem Hosseini Salekdeh received his PhD from International Rice Research Institute (IRRI). He is currently Associate Professor at Agricultural Biotechnology Research Institute of Iran. His research focuses on discovering novel pathways and genes using proteomics and genomics approaches. He also works on recombinant protein expression technologies.
