About the Book
The book presents the basic and applied aspects of sequencing of genes and genomes and their implication in the fine-scale elucidation of the plant genomes.
The third volume presents an overview on the advances of plant genomics made in the last century; deliberations on the genomics resources; concepts, tools, strategies, and achievements of comparative, evolutionary, and functional genomics and whole-genome sequencing. It also present critical reviews on the already completed genome initiatives and glimpses on the currently progressing genome initiatives. And have a deliberation on application of the genomics information in genetic improvement of crop plants. The book includes a chapter on facilitation of the progress of plant genomics researches considering the requirements of generous funding, state-of-the-art facilities and well-trained human resources. Finally, the book presents depiction of a map of the road for plant genomics to be traveled by us and scientists of our next generations in the twenty-first century.
The chapters of this volume are designed to address this need and to serve as a reference book for students, scholars and scientists in academia, industry and government.
