A SCIENCE PUBLISHERS BOOK
About the Series
Basic and advanced concepts, strategies, tools and achievements of
genetics, genomics and breeding of crops have been comprehensively
deliberated in 30 volumes each dedicated to an individual crop or crop
group.
The series editor, Prof. Chittaranjan Kole, is globally renowned for his
pioneering contributions in teaching and research for nearly three
decades on plant genetics, genomics, breeding and biotechnology. His
works and edited books have been appreciated by several
internationally reputed scientists including six Nobel Laureates for the
impact of his publications on science and society. He was conferred the
Outstanding Crop Scientist award at the 6th International Crop Science
Congress held in August 2012.
About the Volume
Peanut, an amphidiploid, is an important food and oil crop and has an
interesting evolutionary history with several setbacks. More recently
-omics technologies have demonstrated their potential in helping
understand basic biological mechanisms as well as genetic
improvement in many crops. Such efforts have been delayed in the case
of peanut due to paucity of appropriate resources and, thus, are in very
nascent stage. Nevertheless, the last decade has witnessed rapid
development in this direction. This book provides a glimpse of the
advances in genetic resources and genomics research of peanut made
during the last decade. The book contains an overview of germplasm,
advances in genetic and genomic resources; genetic and trait mapping;
proteomic and transcriptomic analyses; functional and comparative
genomics studies, and molecular breeding applications. This book
should prove useful to students, teachers and young research workers
as a ready reference to the latest information on peanut genetics and
genomics.
