Springer - The Brassica napus Genome Compendium of Plant Genomes

Explore the complex genetic landscape of one of the world's most important crops with The Brassica napus Genome. Published by Springer as part of the Compendium of Plant Genomes, this book provides a detailed look at how genome sequencing aids our understanding of allopolyploidisation and genome evolution. Readers will gain insights into genetic diversity, complex trait regulation, and knowledge-based breeding strategies. The text uses numerous examples to explain how homoeologous genome rearrangements and exchanges shape structural genome diversity following a polyploidy bottleneck. As the allopolyploid crop species with the most highly duplicated plant genome assembled to date, Brassica napus offers a massive dataset of annotated genes for researchers to study. This volume serves as a vital resource for those studying plant genetics, evolution, and crop improvement.
