Functional Genomics and Transgenesis Applied to Sunflower Breeding
The advances in genomics and post genomics in the last decade allowed the discovery and functional characterization of many genes simultaneously on a genomewide scale. However, the sunflower genome was not systematically sequenced until the recent advent of next-generation sequencing technologies an...

The advances in genomics and post genomics in the last decade allowed the discovery and functional characterization of many genes simultaneously on a genomewide scale.
