Author Description

"This book deliberates on the concept, strategies, tools and techniques of allele mining in fruit crops and its application potential in genome elucidation and improvement including studying allele evolution, discovery of superior alleles, discerning new haplotypes, assessment of intra- and interspecific similarity, and also studies of gene expression and gene prediction. These concepts and strategies along with precise success stories are presented over the chapters dedicated to the major fruit crops. It provides detailed methods of genomic exploration of alleles and their use in crop improvement with relevant success stories in the major fruit crops"--
