In recent years, the field of oil biosynthesis in plants has garnered significant attention, particularly in high-oil-bearing plants like sesame, olive, sunflower, and palm. To facilitate this research, advanced genomics tools such as next-generation sequencing have been employed to sequence the genomes of these plants. Several genome sequencing projects for oil crops are currently underway, and many more are in the pipeline. In addition to genome information, advanced genomics approaches such as transcriptomics, genomics-assisted breeding, genome-wide association study (GWAS), genotyping by sequencing (GBS), and CRISPR have been utilized to enhance our understanding of the oil biosynthesis mechanism and develop breeding strategies for increased oil production.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDespite the significant advancements in oil crop genomics, there is currently no comprehensive book that covers the genomes and genomics of oil crops. Recognizing this gap, this volume aims to provide a comprehensive resource for researchers interested in oil crop genomics, genomics, biotechnology, pharmacology, and medicine. The book encompasses all genome-sequenced oil crops and also includes plants that produce important oil metabolites. Throughout the book, the latest genomics developments and discoveries are highlighted, along with open problems and future challenges in oil crop genomics. By presenting the state-of-the-art of developments and trends in oil crop genomics, this book serves as a valuable tool for scholars and professionals in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 706g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 235 x 155 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783030704223\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2021\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44280918180090,"sku":"9783030704223","price":133.27,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_e618356f-3aa5-48a3-b3a2-597eb753acb5.jpg?v=1686818375","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/oil-crop-genomics-9783030704223","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
