Folta K.M., Gardiner S.E. (Eds.) Genetics and Genomics of Rosaceae

Springer Science+Business Media, 2009. — 633 p. — ISBN: 978-0-387-77490-9This book covers recent progress in genomic research among the Rosaceae family of crops, grounding recent findings firmly in a historical context of genetic studies. The current status of the application of genomics technologies for crop development is examined. A general introduction precedes summaries of genomics research and applications on a crop by crop basis, each authored by a panel of active researchers on that particular species. This volume will be of considerable value as a resource for workers in the Rosaceae operating at all levels, from research scientists in genetics, genomics and breeding, to graduate and undergraduate students.
