Genetics and Genomics of Pineapple

Angebote / Angebote:

This book is the first comprehensive volume on the genetics and genomics of pineapple and provides an overview of the current state of pineapple research. Pineapple [Ananas comosus (L.) Merr.] is the second most important tropical fruit after banana. Its features are advantageous for genomic research: it has a small genome of 527 Mb which is diploid and vegetatively propagated, it is monocot, closely related to the grass family that includes major cereal crops, wheat, rice, corn, sorghum, millet, and it serves as an out group for genetic and genomic research in grasses. In addition to exploring the evolution and improvement of the pineapple, this work examines the pineapple genome with respect to sequencing advancements, other angiosperm genomes, transcription factors, and disease resistance. With chapters covering botanical genetic, genomic, and applied aspects of pineapple, this text also encourages the application of research and suggests future prospects.
