This book compiles the latest science and technology in the processing and preservation of
vegetables and vegetable products. Vegetables are an important article of commerce for …

The domestication and improvement of crop plants have long fascinated evolutionary
biologists, geneticists, and anthropologists. In recent years, the development of increasingly …

Analytical techniques to track plant genes in the environment and the food chain are
essential for environmental risk assessment, government regulation and production and …

Climate change will impact the carrot seed industry globally. One adaptation strategy to limit
climatic impacts on the production of commercial carrot seeds is geographical shift …

PREMISE OF THE STUDY: We explored the phylogenetic utility of entire plastid DNA
sequences in Daucus and compared the results with prior phylogenetic results using plastid …

Whole-genome sequencing is at the cutting edge of life sciences in the new millennium.
Since the first genome sequencing of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana in 2000, whole …

Information about the potential for crop–wild hybridization is needed to understand how crop
genes, including transgenes, affect the population genetics and ecology of sexually …

• Premise of the study: We explored the utility of multiple nuclear orthologs for the taxonomic
resolution of wild and cultivated carrot, Daucus species.• Methods: We studied the …

Studies of genetic diversity and population structure are essential as an initial step in
conservation and breeding programs for modern crops. Carrot (Daucus spp.) is among the …

Approximately one-third of our food globally comes from insect-pollinated crops. The
dependence on pollinators has been linked to yield instability, which could potentially …
