The Brassica napus Genome
This book describes how the genome sequence contributes to our understanding of allopolyploidisation and the genome evolution, genetic diversity, complex trait regulation and knowledge-based breeding of this important crop. Numerous examples demonstrate how widespread homoeologous genome rearrangements and exchanges have moulded structural genome diversity following a severe polyploidy bottleneck. The allopolyploid crop species Brassica napus has the most highly duplicated plant genome to be assembled to date, with the largest number of annotated genes. Examples are provided for use of the genome sequence to identify and capture diversity for important agronomic traits, including seed qualit...

Plant Stress – A Threat to Food Security
The adverse effects of abiotic stresses on plants, including crops, is a growing and pressing problem across the globe. The topic is particularly timely nowadays due to climate change and associated weather extremes such as heat waves, drought, flooding and heavy precipitation. In addition, the yield and quality of crop plants is affected by general global change including man-made factors such as novel xenobiotics or change of land use. Fortunately, plants can detect unfavorable conditions and adjust to environmental changes. The cellular and developmental plasticity of plants enables them to adapt to changing conditions and leads to the improvement of their productivity under sub-optimal environmental conditions. Gaining better insight into plant responses to abiotic stresses is crucial to develop methods for enhanced crop production and elaborate strategies designed to improve global food security.
Plant Genotyping
This thorough volume presents a wide range of existing methods, from the very popular to the more exotic, in the area of plant genotyping. Many methods of plant genotyping were initially developed for medical research, but all genotyping methods, if they are to be successful, should be suitable for application across the full range of studies within plant biology, as seen in this collection. Plant genotyping methods herein are based on a variety of assessments, including DNA microarray, with its hundreds of thousands of simultaneous reactions, or separate individual studies of DNA sequencing and fragment analysis, PCR and qPCR, allele-specific molecular probes and primers, digestion with res...
