The Kiwifruit Genome (Compendium of Plant Genomes) by Raffaele Testolin,Hong-Wen Huang,Allan Ross Ferguson

By Raffaele Testolin,Hong-Wen Huang,Allan Ross Ferguson

This e-book describes the fundamental botanical positive aspects of kiwifruit and its wild family, studies at the steps that ended in its genome sequencing, and discusses the implications bought with the meeting and annotation. The center chapters offer crucial insights into the most gene households that symbolize this species as a crop, together with the genes controlling sugar and starch metabolism, pigment biosynthesis and degradation, the ascorbic-acid pathway, fruit softening and postharvest metabolism, allergens, and resistance to pests and diseases.

The e-book deals a worthy reference advisor for taxonomists, geneticists and horticulturists. additional, due to the fact that info won from the genome series is awfully helpful in assessing the breeding price of people in accordance with whole-genome scans, it's going to in particular gain plant breeders. therefore, chapters are incorporated that concentrate on gene introgression from wild relations and genome-based breeding.
