\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Lentil Genome\u003c/i\u003e is a comprehensive volume on this important legume, from its economic importance to the latest in sequencing. The book includes botanical descriptions, discussion of lentil genetics, cytogenetics and breeding, molecular mapping genes and QTLs, as well as structural and functional genomics, genome sequencing, assembly, repetitive genome, gene annotation and synteny. Lentil [Lens culinaris ssp. culinaris Medikus] is among the earliest domesticates from the Near-East Fertile Crescent and plays a vital role in nutritional wellbeing and livelihood for the small-scale farmers in the dryland agricultural ecosystems of South Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, West Asia, and North Africa. \u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe classical plant breeding approach of selection-recombination-selection has been used successfully for genetic improvement in lentil. However further genetic improvement for developing the high yielding cultivars is required knowledge of gene network underlying the complex traits. Realizing the importance of genomics enabled improvement in crop plants, the scientific community has recently placed major emphasis on whole genome sequencing in many major crops including lentil. This compilation of the latest lentil genome research serves the immediate needs of students, scientists and is needed to strengthen conventional crop improvement strategies of lentil.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eFocuses on the latest tools and strategies for genome sequencing\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eIncludes discussions of public and private genome sequencing and how the information is leading to advancements\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eHighlights the impact on germplasm characterization gene discovery and generic improvement in post genome era\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ePresents insights from leading experts from around the globe\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e |
