This book provides an up-to-date review and analysis of the
carrot's nuclear and organellar genome structure and evolution. In
addition, it highlights applications of carrot genomic information
to elucidate the carrot's natural and agricultural history,
reproductive biology, and the genetic basis of traits important in
agriculture and human health. The carrot genome was sequenced in
2016, and its relatively small diploid genome, combined with the
fact that it is the most complete root crop genome released to date
and the first-ever Euasterid II genome to be sequenced, mean the
carrot has an important role in the study of plant development and
evolution. In addition, the carrot is among the top ten vegetables
grown worldwide, and the abundant orange provitamin A carotenoids
that account for its familiar orange color make it the richest crop
source of vitamin A in the US diet, and in much of the world. This
book includes the latest genetic maps, genetic tools and resources,
and covers advances in genetic engineering that are relevant for
plant breeders and biologists alike.
