This book discusses advances in our understanding of the structure
and function of the maize genome since publication of the original
B73 reference genome in 2009, and the progress in translating this
knowledge into basic biology and trait improvement. Maize is an
extremely important crop, providing a large proportion of the
world's human caloric intake and animal feed, and serving as a
model species for basic and applied research. The exceptionally
high level of genetic diversity within maize presents opportunities
and challenges in all aspects of maize genetics, from sequencing
and genotyping to linking genotypes to phenotypes. Topics covered
in this timely book range from (i) genome sequencing and genotyping
techniques, (ii) genome features such as centromeres and epigenetic
regulation, (iii) tools and resources available for trait genomics,
to (iv) applications of allele mining and genomics-assisted
breeding. This book is a valuable resource for researchers and
students interested in maize genetics and genomics.
