Plant research has stood at the forefront of the genomics
revolution. One of the first genome projects, the sequencing of the
commonly used model organism Arabidopsis, has already yielded
important results for the study of a broad array of crops such as
corn and soybeans. With crop and food bioengineering only in its
infancy, the need to understand the fundamental genetic mechanisms
of plants will only become more pressing.
A comprehensive guide to this fascinating area of genomics,
"Plant Genomics and Proteomics" presents an integrated, broadly
accessible treatment of the complex relationship between the
genome, transcriptome, and proteome of plants. This clearly written
text introduces the reader to the range of molecular techniques
applicable to investigating the unique facets of plant growth,
development, and response to the environment. Coverage includes:
Functional and structural genomics addressed within the context of
current techniques and challenges to comeHow to utilize DNA and
protein sequence dataPractical considerations for choosing and
employing the most commonly available computer applicationsA review
of applications for biotechnology, including genetic modification
and defense against pathogensBioinformatics tools and Web
resourcesNumerous examples from the latest research throughout
Assuming no specialized knowledge of plant biology on the part
of its reader, "Plant Genomics and Proteomics" provides an
invaluable resource for students and researchers in biotechnology,
plant biology, genomics, and bioinformatics.
