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. Organized into four sections, the volume explores the origin and domestication of papaya, classic genetics and breeding, recent progress on molecular genetics, and?current and future applications of genomic resources for papaya improvement.
Bolstered by contributions from authorities in the field, Genetics and Genomics of Papaya is a valuable resource that provides the most up to date information for papaya researchers and plant biologists.
This book reviews papaya genomics, including genetic and genomic resources, progress in structural and functional genomics and their applications in papaya improvement. Explores the origin and domestication of papaya, breeding, molecular genetics and more.
