Description for Genomics of Plant Genetic Resources
Hardcover. This book shows the pivotal role played by genomics in order to mine germplasm collections, elucidate gene function, identify superior alleles and, ultimately, release improved cultivars. It features a number of compelling case studies and examples. Editor(s): Tuberosa, Roberto; Graner, Andreas; Frison, Emile. Num Pages: 515 pages, 60 colour illustrations, 19 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PST; PSTL; PSTP; RNCB; TVB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 241 x 161 x 25. Weight in Grams: 886.
Our lives and well being intimately depend on the exploitation of the plant genetic resources available to our breeding programs. Therefore, more extensive exploration and effective exploitation of plant genetic resources are essential prerequisites for the release of improved cultivars. Accordingly, the remarkable progress in genomics approaches and more recently in sequencing and bioinformatics offers unprecedented opportunities for mining germplasm collections, mapping and cloning loci of interest, identifying novel alleles and deploying them for breeding purposes. This book collects 48 highly interdisciplinary articles describing how genomics improves our capacity to characterize and harness natural and artificially induced variation in order ... Read more
