Plant Genomics: Methods And Functions

Plant genomics is a vast field of study. It studies the structure, mapping, function, evolution and editing of genomes. It is instrumental in the splicing and deletion of specific genes to produce desired phenotypes as a response to the changed genotype. Such genetic modifications can be generated by the "Gene Gun" method and by transformation via Agrobacterium. Introduction of new traits and control over existing traits in plants is possible due to research in plant genetics and genomics. Most of the topics introduced in this book cover new techniques and applications of plant genomics. While understanding the long-term perspectives of the topics, the book makes an effort in highlighting their impact as a modern tool for the growth of the discipline. Those with an interest in this field would find this book helpful.
