The centromere is the chromosomal domain that is vital to the transmission and segregation of genetic materials in plants and animals. The structure and evolution of the centromere has been a mystery for decades due to its complexity of the molecular make-up. Plant Centromere Biology provides a clear and concise picture of the role of centromere biology in plant evolution, developmental processes, and biotechnology. Plant Centromere Biology is made up of fourteen chapters that cover both classical and modern centromere research in several plant species. The centromere of model plant organisms, such as Arabidopsis, and agronomic crops, such as rice and maze, are explored to illustrate the diverse role of the centromere in plant development. New approaches and technologies continuously being applied to centromere research are fully reviewed in the text. Centromere biology has also opened the door to new advances in plant biotechnology and the volume concludes with chapters that look at the development of the latest centromere-related biotechnological accomplishments. A timely and important collection, Plant Centromere Biology will be a vitally important book for plant scientists, biotechnologists, and advanced students with an interest in centromere biology.
