Mulberry Genome is an important academic monograph written by professor Ning-Jia He and academician Zhong-Huai Xiang of Southwest University,China and published by China Forestry Publishing House in September of 2016. The whole book,which totals 690 000 words,systematically summarizes the research progress of＂Mulberry Genome Project＂,containing detailed descriptions on origination,classification and chromosome composition of mulberry trees,on structure,evolution and expression of mulberry genome,on regulatory mechanisms of important genes related to mulberry growth,development,resistance,and synthesis and metabolism of mulberry secondary metabolites,on mulberry gene families,on mulberry leaf and latex proteomes,on co-evolution of mulberry with domestic silkworm,and on the latest advancement in platform construction for mulberry functional gene studies and in establishment of mulberry genome sequence databases. This rich and forward-looking academic monograph will promote reestablishment and expansion of conventional mulberry studies on basis of modern science,and add novel vitality into transformation and upgrading of mulberry industry.
