| Abstract | "Plant Ecogenomics offers a valuable introduction to plant ecology from a genomics point of view. The editors present a thorough foundation and summary of modern approaches, methodologies, research goals, and evidence of plant ecology in the modern genomic era. They also present important updated information on the most recent knowledge of the different aspects of plant populations. The volume begins with a general overview of the various approaches to unravelling the genetic basis underlying fundamental responses of plants to their natural environments. It also describes in detail the concepts, aims, and approaches of plant ecological genomics along with the genomic tools embraced by ecologists for mining various ecological problems. Recent advances and breakthroughs made in molecular markers along with their applications in plant ecogenomic studies are shared, and specific applications, techniques, and tools are described as well, such advanced molecular techniques, next-generation sequencing, eDNA metabarcoding, among others. The authors look at community and ecosystem responses in the form of phylogenetic systematics and the theory and methodology for inferring phylogenetic trees or cladograms, including parsimony, Bayesian, and maximum likelihood methods. The employability of QTL analysis and reverse genetics in plant ecogenomics is discussed. Other topics include the role of eco-genomics in conservation and management, models to study the population structure along with the genetic basis of speciation and adaptation in plants, and more. The volume looks at how genetic variability is assessed with the help of various available tools and how effective they are in the conservation of important plant species. Inbreeding and genetic load and the role of ecogenomics in landscape genetic restoration are covered as well. This volume offers a rich store of information on the interdisciplinary field of ecological genomics that will be valuable for molecular biologists, ecologists, as well as for researchers, scientists, and faculty and students in related areas"-- Provided by publisher. |
