The Turmeric Genome is the first comprehensive compilation of research deliberations focused on whole genome sequencing of turmeric (Curcuma longa L.). This book serves as a valuable starting point for researchers working on turmeric and covers recent advancements in whole genome sequencing, structural and functional genomics, as well as molecular markers and breeding. It also includes fundamental information about the crop itself.
Turmeric is well known for its high nutritional value and is deeply rooted in traditional and indigenous medicinal systems across many turmeric-growing regions. Widely used as a spice for its flavour and as a natural colouring agent, turmeric also finds applications in cosmetics, as a condiment, and as a dye. Despite being cultivated and utilized for over 4000 years, turmeric continues to hold untapped potential for novel uses.
This book highlights recent developments in turmeric research, including chapters on bioinformatics tools for turmeric genome and the assembly of complex plant genomes.
Key Features:
- Presents the first comprehensive compilation focused on the whole genome sequencing of turmeric, including sequence assembly, gene annotation, and metabolic profiling; functional genomics; and the genomics of key agronomic traits, which is a central theme of the book.
- Provides up-to-date and inclusive data on phytochemistry, turmeric botany, cytogenetic analysis, genetic resources and diversity, traditional breeding methods, tissue culture, and genetic transformation.
- Explores the medicinal and pharmacological potential of turmeric.
Comprising 14 chapters, this book brings together contributions from globally renowned experts in turmeric research. This volume will be highly valuable for students, educators, and researchers in academia, as well as professionals in relevant industries interested in genomics, molecular genetics and breeding, biotechnology, structural and functional genomics, horticulture, and plant physiology.
