implemented due to the availability of low-cost,
high-throughput sequencing technologies.
While GAB approaches are routinely deployed
in the private sector and in developed countries,
availability of breeder-friendly decision support
tools is required for enhanced adoption of GAB
in developing countries. In this context, some
tools like integrated system for marker-assisted
breeding (ISMAB) (

modules (Perez-Rodrıguez et al. 2012; de Los
Campos et al. 2013) and platforms like Inte-
grated Breeding Platform (IBP)
(https://www.
integratedbreeding.net/) ar
e being developed.
We hope that these two volumes will allow
graduate students and young scientists to better
appreciate the potential of GAB and will encour-
age them to pursue careers in this exciting area
of crop improvement. In addition, GAB practi-
tioners as well as policy makers should be able
to use these volumes for developing the road
map for the improvement of target crops in their
respective geographical areas.
