Fruits And Nuts Genome Mapping And Molecular Breeding In Plants (Pb 2010) Paperback

Genome Mapping and Molecular Breeding in Plants is a seven-volume series that explores the latest advancements in understanding and improving the genomes of economically important plants. It focuses on genetic and physical mapping, gene identification and cloning, molecular breeding for desirable traits, and the newest genomic technologies. The series covers various crop categories, including Cereals and Millets, Oilseeds, Pulses, Sugar and Tuber Crops, Fruits and Nuts, Vegetables, Technical Crops, and Forest Trees. The volume dedicated to Fruits and Nuts, the largest group among crop plants, presents comprehensive reviews on 20 different fruit and nut crops. Research in this area has historically been slower due to factors like long life cycles, genetic complexity (heterozygosity), and large plant sizes. Featuring contributions from 56 renowned scientists across 12 countries, this volume includes, for the first time, in-depth reviews on mango, banana, olive, pineapple, pistachio, persimmon, and papaya. Additionally, it covers apple, grape, cherry, plum, peach, pear, apricot, strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, almond, citrus, and avocado, offering a significant resource for researchers and breeders in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India, and globally.
