Overview

"""Aroma Genes in Mango: Identification & Characterisation"" authored by Garima Pathak is a comprehensive study of the molecular mechanisms behind the development of mango flavor and fruit quality. The book focuses on the identification and characterisation of aroma-related genes and their expression patterns during different stages of fruit development and ripening. Using advanced technologies such as transcriptomics, genomics, bioinformatics, and next-generation sequencing, the book explores the complex gene networks and regulatory mechanisms involved in the biosynthesis of volatile compounds, terpenes, carotenoids, phytochemicals, and other flavor precursors. The book delves into the role of transcription factors, promoters, and enhancers in gene regulation and signal transduction pathways that control fruit development, ripening, and response to abiotic and biotic stresses, including pathogens. The author discusses the potential applications of gene editing technologies such as CRISPR/Cas9 and transgenic approaches in improving mango flavor and fruit quality, as well as the importance of plant breeding and horticulture practices in optimizing postharvest physiology. In addition, the book highlights the nutritional and health benefits of mango, including its high content of antioxidants, anti-inflammatory compounds, dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, sugars, organic acids, and enzymes. Overall, ""Aroma Genes in Mango: Identification & Characterisation"" is a valuable resource for researchers, plant breeders, horticulturists, food scientists, and nutritionists interested in improving the flavor and nutritional quality of mango and other fruits. The book provides a comprehensive understanding of the molecular basis of fruit development and ripening and its relationship with fruit quality and health benefits."
