商品描述

This book is the first comprehensive volume on conifers detailing their genomes, variations, and evolution. The book begins with general information about conifers such as taxonomy, geography, reproduction, life history, and social and economic importance. Then topics discussed include the full genome sequence, complex traits, phenotypic and genetic variations, landscape genomics, and forest health and conservation. This book also synthesizes the research included to provide a bigger picture and suggest an evolutionary trajectory.

As a large plant family, conifers are an important part of economic botany. The group includes the pines, spruces, firs, larches, yews, junipers, cedars, cypresses, and sequoias. Of the phylum Coniferophyta, conifers typically bear cones and evergreen leaves. Recently, there has been much data available in conifer genomics with the publication of several crop and non-crop genome sequences. In addition to their economic importance, conifers are an important habitat for humans and animals, especially in developing parts of the world. The application of genomics for improving the productivity of conifer crops holds great promise to help provide resources for the most needy in the world.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書是第一本全面介紹針葉樹的著作，詳細說明了它們的基因組、變異和演化。書中首先提供了有關針葉樹的一般資訊，包括分類學、地理、繁殖、生命歷史以及社會和經濟重要性。接著討論的主題包括完整的基因組序列、複雜性狀、表型和遺傳變異、景觀基因組學，以及森林健康和保護。這本書還綜合了所包含的研究，以提供更全面的視角並建議演化的軌跡。

作為一個大型植物科，針葉樹在經濟植物學中佔有重要地位。這個群體包括松樹、雲杉、冷杉、落葉松、紫杉、杜松、雪松、柏樹和紅杉。在門類 Coniferophyta 中，針葉樹通常具有球果和常綠葉。最近，隨著幾個作物和非作物基因組序列的發表，針葉樹基因組學的數據變得更加豐富。除了它們的經濟重要性外，針葉樹也是人類和動物的重要棲息地，特別是在發展中國家。利用基因組學來提高針葉樹作物的生產力，對於幫助世界上最需要資源的人們具有巨大的潛力。

作者簡介

Dr. Neale's primary research interest is in the discovery and understanding of function of genes in forest trees, especially those controlling complex traits, through genetic mapping and genomic science technologies. In the very near future, nearly all the genes in pine will have been cloned and their DNA sequences determined. The cloned genes will serve as tools for functional analysis which will lead to understanding of complex patterns of coordinated expression of genes leading to phenotype. Initially, we have focused on traits of practical value such as wood quality, growth, and disease resistance but we expect to expand our studies to identifying genes determining patterns of adaptation and response to environmental stresses.

Dr. Wheeler has worked on the Conifer Translational Genomics Network Coordinated Agricultural Project, as well as at Oregon State University on conifer genome sequence and mapping.

作者簡介(中文翻譯)

尼爾博士的主要研究興趣在於發現和理解森林樹木中基因的功能，特別是那些控制複雜性狀的基因，透過基因圖譜和基因組科學技術。在不久的將來，幾乎所有的松樹基因都將被克隆並確定其DNA序列。這些克隆基因將作為功能分析的工具，幫助理解基因協調表達的複雜模式，進而影響表型。最初，我們專注於實用價值的性狀，如木材品質、生長和抗病性，但我們預期將擴展研究，識別決定適應模式和對環境壓力反應的基因。

惠勒博士曾參與針葉樹轉譯基因組網絡協調農業項目，並在俄勒岡州立大學從事針葉樹基因組序列和圖譜的研究。
