Preface -- Mango: The King of Fruits -- Botanical descriptions -- Propagation practices -- Germplasm and genetic resources -- Genetic diversity analysis -- Alternate flowering -- Classical genetics and breeding -- In Vitro Culture and genetic transformation -- Molecular mapping and breeding in mango -- Genome sequence -- Sequencing of organellar genomes -- Functional genomics -- Genomic resources and database.

This book represents the first comprehensive compilation of deliberations on botany; genetic resources; genetic diversity analysis; classical genetics & traditional breeding; in vitro culture & genetic transformation; detailed information on molecular maps & mapping of economic genes and QTLs; whole genome sequencing of the nuclear genome and sequencing of chloroplast genome; and elucidation of functional genomics. It also addresses alternate flowering, a unique problem in mango, and discusses currently available genomic resources and databases. Gathering contributions by globally reputed experts, the book will benefit the students, teachers, and scientists in academia and at private companies interested in horticulture, genetics, breeding, pathology, entomology, physiology, molecular genetics and breeding, in vitro culture & genetic engineering, and structural and functional genomics.
