Genomics of Tree Crops
Trees that are indispensably supportive to human life pose a formidable challenge to breed them to suit to human needs. From soft drinks to breweries to beverages to oil to tires, the value added products from trees give a spectrum of products to human ki

Preface
Editing a book on Genomics is a difficult task since this branch of science is changing so quickly. However, it is necessary to compile the advancements in this area for the use of students and new scientists interested in tree species. Many technological innovations have occurred in a short time span and understanding these techniques and how they are used is essential to move the science of plant genetics forward. Since the rediscovery of Mendelism during the 1900s, the genetics and breeding of plants has experienced many paradigm shifts such as the discovery of DNA and RNA, unraveling of genes and gene expression, the central dogma, reverse genetics, gene sequencing, molecular genetic markers, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), anti-sense RNA, single nucleotide
