| Summary |
Soybean is an important leguminous crop that is rich in seed protein and oil. In the international world trade markets, soybean ranks first among the major oil crops. Soybean production continues to expand as demand for soybeans and soybean products increases. In the past decade or so, there has been a virtual explosion in the field of soybean research resulting in numerous advances in genome mapping, molecular breeding, as well as structural and functional genomics. This volume deals with the recent advances in soybean genetics, breeding, genome mapping, gene cloning, functional genomics, comparative genomics, metabolomics, sequencing, and bioinformatics, and is intended to bridge traditional research with modern molecular investigations. In 15 chapters, 48 globally reputed scientists provide concise and comprehensive reviews on the current status of soybean research on its genome analysis and improvement. The deliberations in this book are multidisciplinary and useful to soybean researchers as well as to the scientists and scholars working in other crops |
