Genetics and Genomics of Soybean
The Fabaceae (leguminosae) comprise the second largest family of flowering plants with 650 genera and 18000 species. As a member of Phaseoleae, the most economically important legume tribe, the soybean, Glycine max (L.) Merr., constitutes a major source o

Foreword
Genetics and Genomics of Soybean, Edited by Professor Gary Stacey, is a remarkable collection of articles by internationally-recognized experts in the field of soybean genomics – many of whom helped to develop the tools and resources necessary to establish soybean as a powerful crop to investigate important basic and applied questions of plant biology. This collection of articles provides a comprehensive up-to-date review of the field of soybean genomics, and documents how far this field has advanced in the last few years. From the vantage point of someone like myself who first began investigating the organization and expression of the soybean genome thirty years ago, the insights provided by the authors in this book indicate that soybean has indeed “come of age,” and that decades-old mysteries of the soybean genome are now being illuminated. Genetics and Genomics of Soybean is divided into four sections: (1) soybean genome natural history and diversity – which includes chapters on the genetic variation of the soybean genome and its relationship to other legume genomes; (2) tools, resources, and approaches – which includes reviews of technological
