Date Palm Genome, Vol. 2

This book is thefirst comprehensive assemblage ofcontemporary knowledge relevant togenomics and other omics in date palm. Volume 2 consists of11 chapters. Part I, Nutritional and Pharmaceuticals Properties, covers theutilization ofdate palm as an ingredient ofvarious food products, a source ofbioactive compounds and theproduction ofnanomaterials. Part II, Omics Technologies, addresses omics resources, proteomics and metabolomics. Part III, Molecular Breeding and Genome Modification, focuses ongenetic improvement technologies based onmutagenesis, quantitative traits loci and genome editing. Part IV, Genomics ofAbiotic and Biotic Stress, covers metagenomics ofbeneficial microbes toenhance tolerance toabiotic stress and thevarious genomics advances as they apply toinsect control. This volume represents theefforts of34 international scientists from12 countries and contains 65 figures and 19 tables toillustrate presented concepts. Volume 1 is published under the title: Phylogeny, Biodiversity and Mapping.
