Book Synopsis Plant Genes, Genomes and Genetics by : Erich Grotewold

Download or read book Plant Genes, Genomes and Genetics written by Erich Grotewold. This book was released on 2015-04-27. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plant Genes, Genomes and Genetics provides a comprehensive treatment of all aspects of plant gene expression. Unique in explaining the subject from a plant perspective, it highlights the importance of key processes, many first discovered in plants, that impact how plants develop and interact with the environment. This text covers topics ranging from plant genome structure and the key control points in how genes are expressed, to the mechanisms by which proteins are generated and how their activities are controlled and altered by posttranslational modifications. Written by a highly respected team of specialists in plant biology with extensive experience in teaching at undergraduate and graduate level, this textbook will be invaluable for students and instructors alike. Plant Genes, Genomes and Genetics also includes: specific examples that highlight when and how plants operate differently from other organisms special sections that provide in-depth discussions of particular issues end-of-chapter problems to help students recapitulate the main concepts rich, full-colour illustrations and diagrams clearly showing important processes in plant gene expression a companion website with PowerPoint slides, downloadable figures, and answers to the questions posed in the book Aimed at upper level undergraduates and graduate students in plant biology, this text is equally suited for advanced agronomy and crop science students inclined to understand molecular aspects of organismal phenomena. It is also an invaluable starting point for professionals entering the field of plant biology.

Book Synopsis Plant Genomes by : Jean-Nicolas Volff

Download or read book Plant Genomes written by Jean-Nicolas Volff. This book was released on 2008-01-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent major advances in the field of comparative genomics and cytogenomics of plants, particularly associated with the completion of ambitious genome projects, have uncovered astonishing facets of the architecture and evolutionary history of plant genomes. The aim of this book was to review these recent developments as well as their implications in our understanding of the mechanisms which drive plant diversity. New insights into the evolution of gene functions, gene families and genome size are presented, with particular emphasis on the evolutionary impact of polyploidization and transposable elements. Knowledge on the structure and evolution of plant sex chromosomes, centromeres and microRNAs is reviewed and updated. Taken together, the contributions by internationally recognized experts present a panoramic overview of the structural features and evolutionary dynamics of plant genomes.This volume of Genome Dynamics will provide researchers, teachers and students in the fields of biology and agronomy with a valuable source of current knowledge on plant genomes.

Book Synopsis Plant Genes, Genomes and Genetics by : Kevin Sterling

Download or read book Plant Genes, Genomes and Genetics written by Kevin Sterling. This book was released on 2022-09-27. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of genes, heredity and genetic variation in plants is known as plant genetics. It is the sub-field of biology and botany. The field aims to understand the patterns through which traits are passed down by parents to offsprings. The Deoxyribonucleic acids (DNA) is the nucleic acid which carries long-term storage of information and contains the information needed to make other components of cell. The Deoxyribonucleic acids (DNA) in plants carry the genetic information of the plants which are called genes. The field focuses on understanding the role that different genes perform within a genome. This information is further used for plant breeding and manipulation of plant genes to produce various other desired genotypes. This book provides comprehensive insights into the field of plant genetics. It is compiled in such a manner, that it will provide an in-depth knowledge about the theory and practice of this discipline. As this field is emerging at a rapid pace, the contents of this book will help the readers understand the modern applications of the subject.

Download or read book Plant Genomics written by Ibrokhim Y. Abdurakhmonov. This book was released on 2016-07-14. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plant genomics aims to sequence, characterize, and study the genetic compositions, structures, organizations, functions, and interactions/networks of an entire plant genome. Its development and advances are tightly interconnected with proteomics, metabolomics, metagenomics, transgenomics, genomic selection, bioinformatics, epigenomics, phenomics, system biology, modern instrumentation, and robotics sciences. Plant genomics has significantly advanced over the past three decades in the land of inexpensive, high-throughput sequencing technologies and fully sequenced over 100 plant genomes. These advances have broad implications in every aspect of plant biology and breeding, powered with novel genomic selection and manipulation tools while generating many grand challenges and tasks ahead. This Plant genomics provides some updated discussions on current advances, challenges, and future perspectives of plant genome studies and applications.
