Sorghum Molecular Breeding de R. Madhusudhana

Sorghum Molecular Breeding

Editat de R. Madhusudhana, P. Rajendrakumar, J. V. Patil
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 2 sep 2015

Remarcăm faptul că, deși sorgul reprezintă o cultură critică pentru securitatea alimentară globală, informațiile despre progresele genomice au rămas fragmentate până la apariția acestui volum. Sorghum Molecular Breeding rezolvă problema centrală a amelioratorului modern: integrarea volumului imens de date generat după secvențierea genomului în strategii practice de breeding. Suntem de părere că lucrarea editată de R. Madhusudhana și colegii săi acoperă un gol tehnic esențial, oferind protocoale și analize critice asupra modului în care markerii DNA pot fi utilizați pentru a îmbunătăți randamentul boabelor și calitatea nutrițională. Notăm cu interes structura progresivă a cărții, organizată în patru părți distincte. Aceasta începe cu bazele biologice, avansează către utilizarea markerilor în analiza diversității și cartografierea linkage-ului, culminând cu secțiuni avansate de bioinformatică și transformare genetică. Cititorul care a aplicat ideile din The Sorghum Genome de Sujay Rakshit va găsi aici elementele care completează viziunea teoretică, făcând trecerea de la simpla secvențiere la aplicarea directă a resurselor genomice în dezvoltarea liniilor transgenice. Spre deosebire de Sorghum de Zuo-Yu Zhao, care se axează pe protocoale de laborator, acest volum pune accent pe sinteza strategiilor de ameliorare moleculară și pe predicția heterozisului. Stilul este unul tehnic, axat pe rezultate și metodologii specifice, fiind analizate în detaliu dezvoltările post-genomice și instrumentele bioinformatice pentru identificarea locusurilor trăsăturilor cantitative (QTL). Volumul nu se limitează la teorie, ci examinează perspectivele viitoare ale cercetării transgenice, oferind un cadru solid pentru gestionarea programelor de ameliorare în condiții de stres biotic și abiotic.

Aceștia activează în cadrul unor instituții de cercetare de prestigiu, având o experiență vastă în genetica moleculară și ameliorarea plantelor. Expertiza lor cumulată se reflectă în rigoarea cu care sunt selectate studiile de caz și în modul în care sunt integrate progresele recente din genomica sorgului, contribuind semnificativ la literatura de specialitate publicată de Springer India.

Descriere scurtă

This book provides an up-to-date overview of international research work on sorghum. Its comprehensive coverage of our current understanding of transgenic development in sorghum and the strategies that are being applied in molecular breeding make this book unique. Important areas such as genetic diversity, QTL mapping, heterosis prediction, genomic and bioinformatics resources, post-genome sequencing developments, molecular markers development using bioinformatics tools, genetic transformation and transgenic research are also addressed. The availability of the genome sequence along with other recent developments in sequencing and genotyping technologies has resulted in considerable advances in the area of sorghum genomics. These in turn have led to the generation of a large number of DNA-based markers and resulted in the identification and fine mapping of QTL associated with grain yield, its component traits, biotic and abiotic stress tolerance as well as grain quality traits in sorghum. Though a large volume of information has accumulated over the years, especially following the sequencing of the sorghum genome, until now it was not available in a single reference resource. This book fills that gap by documenting advances in the genomics and transgenic research in sorghum and presenting critical reviews and future prospects. “Sorghum Molecular Breeding” is an essential guide for students, researchers and managers who are involved in the area of molecular breeding and transgenic research in sorghum and plant biologists in general.
