The Alfalfa Genome
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-030-74468-7 (ISBN)
This book is the first comprehensive compilation of deliberations on whole genome sequencing of the diploid and tetraploid alfalfa genomes including sequence assembly, gene annotation, and comparative genomics with the model legume genome, functional genomics, and genomics of important agronomic characters. Other chapters describe the genetic diversity and germplasm collections of alfalfa, as well as development of genetic markers and genome-wide association and genomic selection for economical important traits, genome editing, genomics, and breeding targets to address current and future needs.
Altogether, the book contains about 300 pages over 16 chapters authored by globally reputed experts on the relevant field in this crop. This book is useful to the students, teachers, and scientists in the academia and relevant private companies interested in genetics, breeding, pathology, physiology, molecular genetics and breeding, biotechnology, and structural and functional genomics. The work is also useful to seed and forage industries.
lt;p>Dr. Long-Xi Yu is Research Plant Geneticist in USDA-ARS and Adjunct Professor at Washington State University. Dr. Yu received his Ph.D. degree from University of Orleans, France, and completed postdoctoral training at Cornell University. Dr. Yu has conducted research in plant genetics and genomics for 35 years in academia, industrial and government agency. He is currently leading several research projects for improving alfalfa production and forage quality. He has authored or co-authored more than 100 publications and received 50 special invitations to present seminars or review papers. He served on panels of The National Alfalfa & MISC Legumes Variety Review Board and The Washington Alfalfa Seeds Commission. He has supervised more than 30 visiting scientists, postdocs and PhD students. He has also served on editorial boards of 8 peer-reviewed journals and several scientific committees.
