Klappentext zu „The Coconut Genome “
This book serves as the first comprehensive compilation describing the breeding strategies and genetics and genomics of the coconut palm. It describes gene evolution of economically important traits such as oil biosynthesis, aroma and fragrance, disease-resistant genes and small RNAs-mediated gene regulation of coconut. Application of "omics" approaches in palms and the prospects of genome editing technologies in coconut are also discussed. The author list includes pioneers and experts in the field of coconut genomics.The book appeals to postgraduate students, researchers and industry players in the field of plantation crops in general and coconut in particular.

Dr. M.K. Rajesh is serving as Principal Scientist (Biotechnology) in the Division of Crop Improvement, ICAR-CPCRI. He obtained his B.Sc (Agriculture), M.Sc (Biotechnology) and Ph.D (Biotechnology) from Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, India. He has over 21 years experience in molecular characterization of coconut, cocoa and arecanut germplasm, use of molecular markers for hybrid authentication in coconut and arecanut, in vitro culture and in vitro conservation of coconut. His current area of research includes genome, transcriptome, proteome and metabolome analyses of coconut, with special focus on somatic embryogenesis and host-pathogen interactions. He has published more than 100 research papers in peer reviewed journals, written over 30 book chapters and edited five books. He is also serving as Editor, Journal of Plantation Crops. Dr. Ramesh S.V. is currently serving as Senior Scientist (Biotechnology), at ICAR-Central Plantation Crops Research Institute (ICAR-CPCRI), Kasaragod, Kerala, India. His field of specialization is plant molecular biology and biotechnology having obtained his Masters and Doctorate degrees in Plant Biochemistry. Ramesh is a recipient of DBT-CTEP Travel Award (2013) and AABSc-sponsored Young Plant Biotechnologist Award (2015). He did his post-doctoral research work in the field of small non-coding RNAs at Washington State University, USA under DBT-CREST Fellowship (2013-14). He has authored many scholarly articles- spread over diverse fields viz., plantation biology, plant-virus interactions, and nutrition biochemistry- in the journals of international and national repute and presented his research findings in several international scientific fora. Currently his research areas of focus include transcriptomics (non-coding RNAs) of abiotic stressors and lipid biochemistry of plantation crops. He also features in the list of Academic Editorsof Journal PLOS
