Plant Genetics : From Genes to Genomes
Overview
Plant genetics, which is a branch of biology, specifically of botany, is dedicated to the study of genes, heredity, and genetic variation in plants. The primary objective of this field is to elucidate the mechanisms by which traits are inherited from parents to offspring. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) serves as the molecular carrier of genetic information, storing the essential instructions required for the synthesis of cellular components. In plants, DNA is organized into genes, which govern biological processes and traits. Plant genetics focuses on understanding the functions of individual genes within the genome and their role in determining characteristics of plants. This knowledge is essential for applications in plant breeding, genetic manipulation, and the development of targeted genotypes. This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts in the field of plant genetics. It elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to the field. Through this book, we attempt to further enlighten the readers about the new concepts in this field.
