This book is the first volume of a comprehensive assemblage of contemporary knowledge relevant to genomics and other omics in date palm. Volume 1 consists of 11 chapters arranged in 3 parts grouped according to subject. Part I, Biology and Phylogeny, focuses on date palm biology, evolution and origin. Part II, Biodiversity and Molecular Identification, covers conformity of in vitro derived plants, molecular markers, barcoding, pollinizer genetics and gender determination. Part III, Genome Mapping and Bioinformatics, addresses genome mapping of nuclear, chloroplast and mitochondrial DNA, in addition to a chapter on progress made in date palm bioinformatics.

This volume represents the efforts of 30 international scientists from 10 countries and contains 78 figures and 30 tables to illustrate presented concepts. Volume 2 is published under the title: Omics and Molecular Breeding.

Presents contemporary insights of date palm biology, genetics and breeding, tree utilization, and the multiple beneficial uses of fruits and bioactive compounds Describes molecular methodologies to study date palm origin and domestication, phylogenetic relationship, molecular genetic diversity, cultivar identification, genome stability of in vitro plants and DNA barcoding Gives a comprehensive account of research achievements and prospects of date palm genome, chloroplast, and mitochondrial DNA mapping Elaborates on genomic approaches for mitigating biotic and abiotic stresses Provides genomic database resources accessible online Consists of chapters that are written by an assemblage of internationally reputed experts in the subject Introduces concepts that are supported with tabulated data, high-quality color photos and diagrams
