GENETICS AND GENOMICS OF PINEAPPLE GEBUNDEN

This book is the first comprehensive volume on the genetics and genomics of pineapple and
provides an overview of the current state of pineapple research. Pineapple [Ananas comosus (L.)
Merr.] is the second most important tropical fruit after banana in term of international trade.
Its features are advantageous for genomic research: it has a small genome of 527 Mb which is
diploid and vegetatively propagated  it is monocot  closely related to the grass family that
includes major cereal crops  wheat  rice  corn  sorghum  and millet  and it serves as an out
group for genetic and genomic research in grasses. In addition to exploring the evolution and
improvement of pineapple  this work examines the pineapple genome with respect to genome
structure and organization  comparative analyses with other angiosperm genomes  transcription
factors  disease resistance  and circadian clock regulation of CAM related genes. With chapters
covering botanical  genetic  genomic  and applied aspects of pineapple  this text also
encourages the application of genomic technologies and suggests future prospects.
