The Common Bean Genome

Book Overview

Offers a comprehensive overview of the state of the art on the genomics of the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and related crop species in the genus PhaseolusProvides insights into the importance of the genomic information, both nuclear and organelle
Unravels the intriguing evolutionary process associated with the two independent domestications of the common bean and with the processes of the other species of the genus
Includes a complete review of the qualitative and quantitative data on several sets of genes of particular interest for breeding
Gives examples of how genomic information can be used in the basic and applied study of particular sets of genes or repeated sequences
Highlights the importance of the common bean as a model species for legume research, as well as of genomic information for ongoing research on the species
