Overview: Presents crop-wise compilation of advanced genetic and genomic techniques employed for genetic improvement.Includes comprehensive review on crop improvement of important 6 vegetable crops and 4 vegeta.Biotic stresses cause yield loss of 31-42% in crops in addition to 6-20% during post-harvest stage. Understanding interaction of crop plants to the biotic stresses caused by insects, bacteria, fungi, viruses, and oomycetes, etc. is important to develop resistant crop varieties. Knowledge on the advanced genetic and genomic crop improvement strategies including molecular breeding, transg
