"The history of science is replete with untold stories and this book is one of these accounts. The author shares a narrative of heredity, an active topic of inquiry long before Johann Gregor Mendel - the father of genetics - planted his peas. One such interlude unfolded in Mende…
The origin story and emergence of molecular biology is muddled. The early triumphs in bacterial genetics and the complexity of animal and plant genomes complicate an intricate history. This book documents the many advances, as well as the prejudices and founder fallacies. It hig…
"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…
