Klappentext zu „The Watermelon Genome “
This book is the first comprehensive compilation of deliberations on botany, genetic resources and diversity, classical genetics and traditional breeding, genetic transformation, and detailed enumeration on molecular maps and mapping of economic genes and QTLs, whole genome sequencing and comparative genomics in watermelon, and elucidation on functional genomics. The genomic resources for disease resistance, genomics of fruit and quality traits of watermelon, and molecular and metabolic regulation of nutraceuticals in watermelon are discussed. Mapping of quality traits, and biotic and abiotic resistance is also to be discussed. The genome draft of watermelon and application of genome editing are covered. The book contains approximately 250 pages and over 10 chapters authored by globally reputed experts on the relevant field in this crop. This book is useful to the students, teachers, and scientists in academia and relevant private companies interested in horticulture, genetics, breeding, pathology, entomology, physiology, molecular genetics and genomics, in vitro culture and genetic engineering, and structural and functional genomics. This book is also useful for seed industries.Inhaltsverzeichnis zu „The Watermelon Genome “

Dr. Sudip Kr. Dutta is a scientist of Horticulture at Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), New Delhi, India since 2011. He obtained his PhD in Horticulture in 2011. He has been working in the various horticultural crops for 14 years. His main interest in the last few years is in the genomic and transcriptomic analysis of genes belonging to the various pathways differentially expressed in watermelon. He studied the transcriptomal changes in reciprocal grafts involving watermelon (Citrulluslanatus (Thunb.) and bottle gourd [Lagenaria siceraria (Molina) Standl.] and also revealed the molecular mechanisms involved in fruit size, rind toughness and total soluble solids. From 2016-2017 (as DBT, Govt. of India, Associate) he was at Department of Biology, Gus R. Douglass Institute, West Virginia State University, Institute, WV, 25112-1000, USA. There he studied genome-wide identification and gene expression pattern of ABC transporter gene family in Capsicum spp. Currently, he worksin the Department of Horticulture at ICAR research complex for North Eastern Hill Region, Sikkim Center, Sikkim, India where he works on application of new molecular tools to accelerate breeding in horticultural crops.Dr. Umesh K. Reddy is a Professor of Genetics and Genomics at the Department of Biology, at West Virginia State University. Dr. Reddy is a globally recognized genomic researcher in cucurbits with special reference to watermelon and pumpkin. His two decades of genomic research resulted in several high-impact peer journal articles including Plant Journal, Journal of Experimental Botany, Plant Molecular Biology, and BMC Genomics to name some. His research entitles the evolution of cultivars, nutraceuticals, evolution, and abiotic resistance with special reference to heavy metals. He teaches Genetics, Biotechniques, and Crop Diversity and Breeding. Dr. Padma Nimmakayala is a Professor of Plant Breeding and Genetics at the Department of Biology, at

WestVirginia State University. She focuses on breeding, genetics, and genomics in watermelons and peppers. She aims in developing molecular markers for fruit quality, yield, and mine site adaptation, and integrate these tools for genome-assisted breeding. She is in the process of developing telomere-to-telomere sequences for pumpkin, melon, and bell pepper. She has also identified pumpkin, pepper, and watermelon types that have high antioxidants and flavonoids that can be used for nutraceutical purposes. Presently, little is known about the genes controlling flavor and fruit architecture in watermelon germplasm that is relevant to breeding. She has already generated extensive SNP data that can make Genome-wide Association Study (GWAS) feasible to identify molecular markers linked to phytonutrients and fruit architecture.
