This book reviews various aspects of papaya genomics, including existing genetic and genomic resources, recent progress on structural and functional genomics, and their applications in papaya improvement.

The genus includes common flax, which is one of the best fibers to produce linen, the seeds to produce linseed oil and has health-related properties of flax in human and animal nutrition.This book describes the genetics and genomics of Linum including the development of extensive experimental resources (e.g.

This book provides an overview of the current state of knowledge of the genetics and genomics of the agriculturally important Cucurbitaceae plant family, which includes crops such as watermelon, melon, cucumber, summer and winter squashes, pumpkins, and gourds.

Setaria viridis and S.italica make up a model grass system to investigate C4 photosynthesis, cell wall biosynthesis, responses to drought, herbicide, and other environmental stressors, genome dynamics, developmental genetics and morphology, and interactions with microorganisms.

The Gossypium (cotton) genus presents novel opportunities to advance our understanding of the natural world and its organic evolution.

This book offers comprehensive coverage of the advances in genetics and genomics research on rice. It presents special topics pertaining to the rice genome, including the documentation of tools and resources for functional analysis of the rice genome.

Rising interest in biofuels, concern over a looming global water crisis, a need for precise, environmentally benign weed control: these factors are driving new research on the Saccharinae clade. This book reviews recent progress and anticipates new advances.

This book comprehensively reviews the recent progress in the development of structural and functional genomics tools in the Triticeae species. It attempts to bring the field up-to-date on the genetics and genomics of important crop plants and genetic models.

This is the first book on Rosaceae genomics. It covers progress in recent genomic research among the Rosaceae, grounding this firmly in the historical context of genetic studies and in the application of genomics technologies for crop development.
