Features: Plant genome research has always been at the forefront of the genome revolution. Model plants, such as Arabidopsis, are widely used in research. The genome sequencing of this plant was one of the earliest genome projects, which has achieved significant results and has promoted research on a large number of crops (such as grains and soybeans). Since grain and food biotechnology is still in its early stages, understanding the basic genetic mechanisms of plants has become more urgent. Plant Genomics and Proteomics comprehensively introduces this fascinating field of genomics, thoroughly and broadly discussing the complex interactions between plant genomes, transcriptomes, and proteomes. With clear writing, the book guides readers into the field of molecular techniques used to study unique plant physiological processes, such as plant growth, development, and responses to environmental factors. This book provides readers with systematic knowledge in the field of plant genomics and proteomics, and it is equally easy to understand and master for readers without a background in plant biology. It can be said to be a valuable reference for college students and researchers in the fields of biotechnology, plant biology, genomics, and bioinformatics. The book covers topics such as the structure of plant genomes, the basic toolbox for obtaining functional genomics data, and strategies for sequencing.
