Genomics update Genomics of plant-associated microbes

Plant functional genomics.

Nucleotide sequencing of the Arabidopsis genome is nearing completion, sequencing of the rice genome has begun, and large amounts of expressed sequence tag information are being obtained for many other plants. There are many opportunities to use this wealth of sequence information to accelerate progress toward a comprehensive understanding of the genetic mechanisms that control plant growth and...

Genomics and Plant Breeding

The recent announcements of the breakthroughs in obtaining the oil palm genome sequence map herald a new chapter in oil palm genetic improvement. These breakthroughs will spur the further development of oil palm genomics. This article examines how genomics would impact plant and oil palm breeding. The knowledge derived from genomics research in terms of the DNA structure of a gene, how it funct...

Plant Genomics and Proteomics

mildly offended that such a burgeoning, vast, complicated field could be summed up in "A Short Course." Moreover, having read Janeway et al.'s Immunobiology: The Immune Sytem in Health and Disease with zeal a few years back, I felt that no other text book could ever equal the clarity and extensiveness of Janeway's immunological bible. Having completed the fifth edition of Immunology: A Short Co...
