The Brassica napus Genome

The Brassica napus Genome edited by Shengyi Liu, Rod Snowdon, Boulos Chalhoub.

This book describes how the genome sequence contributes to our understanding of allopolyploidisation and the genome evolution, genetic diversity, complex trait regulation and knowledge-based breeding of this important crop. Numerous examples demonstrate how widespread homoeologous genome rearrangeme...
