This book will expound the latest information on the current state
of persimmon genomics and transcriptomics, with a particular focus
on the latest findings and analysis in relation to the most
important agronomic traits. The genus Diospyros contains about 400
species distributed all continents of the globe. Most of Diospyros
species are distributed in the tropical and subtropical regions,
while cultivated persimmon or simply kaki (Diospyros kaki)
originates in East Asia and has been grown in China, Japan and
Korea for many years. World production of persimmon has been
increasing continuously since 1990s, with China being the most
producer. Outside Asia, kaki production has been rapidly increasing
in Spain in recent years. Because kaki is mostly hexaploid (2n = 6x
=90) and its genome size is quite large with the flow cytometric
analysis estimation of about 900 Mb, genetic and molecular studies
in persimmon are quite complicated. Diploid close relatives of
kaki, D. lotus and D. oleifera have been recently used as model
species of kaki. Utilizing these species, molecular basis of
several economically molecular basis of important traits such as
sexuality and astringency has been studied, giving important
information for kaki breeding.
