Genetics, Genomics and Breeding of Sunflower: Genetics, Genomics and Breeding of Crop Plants

Editat de Jinguo Hu, Gerald Seiler, C. Kole
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 8 apr 2010
The sunflower has fascinated mankind for centuries. The oilseed sunflower contributes approximately ten percent of the world’s plant-derived edible oil and the confection type sunflower holds a considerable share of the directly consumed snacks market. In addition, sunflower is also grown as an ornamental for cut flowers, as well as in home gardens. We are now embarking on the age of genomics which will expedite the process of genetic improvement of crops. There has been an explosion of information on genetic markers, DNA sequences, and genomic resources for most major food crops including sunflower. This volume is intended to bridge traditional research with modern molecular investigations on sunflower.

Descriere

Combining traditional research with modern molecular investigations on the sunflower crop, this book expounds on the wealth of genomic research currently under investigation. Providing detailed information on genetic markers, DNA sequences, and genomic resources for both major sunflower crops (oilseed sunflower which supplies ten percent of the world's plant-derived edible oils and confection-type sunflower which constitutes a significant portion of the directly consumed snacks market), this text draws on the research of world-renowned experts to give scientists the crucial information necessary to expedite the genetic improvement of this important crop.
