Chapter 1 focuses on plant chromosome segregation during meiosis and describes the events taking place, as well as the molecular factors involved. In Chapter 2, the de novo construction of a maize minichromosome is reported and its potential applications in plant biotechnology are discussed. In Chapters 3 and 4, genome editing in plants through the respective employment of zinc finger nucleases and the CRISPR/Cas9 System are analyzed. In the following block of five chapters, we review the application of chromosome engineering technology to genome analysis and functional genomics. Chapter 5 examines the main tools allowing an in-depth analysis of polyploid genome structure and gene expression. In Chapter 6, the construction of BAC libraries and their application in genome physical mapping are described. Chapter 7 depicts the genome structure and evolution analysis of three Brachypodium distachyon cytotypes by employing the chromosome painting technique. Chapter 8 describes the use of the enhancer trapping system in gene identification, illustrated by the characterization of the rice oscdm1 mutant. Chapter 9 shows the development of a TILLING by sequencing method in peanut in order to identify mutations in selected loci. The next four chapters investigate practical applications of chromosome engineering in crop breeding. In Chapter 10, the obtaining of new Brassicaceae amphidiploid, alloplasmic, gene integration, chromosome addition and chromosome substitution lines by chromosome engineering methods is presented. In Chapter 11, the manipulation of the Arabidopsis histone CENH3 to produce haploid plants is shown. Similarly, Chapter 12 features the generation of doubled haploid triticale plants for their application in modern breeding programs through microspore embryogenesis. Chapter 13 describes a comparative mapping study between sugarcane and sorghum providing new information on the sugarcane genome structure and revealing the presence of chromosome rearrangements between both species. In Chapter 14, the homoploid hybridization and polyploidy events that led to the evolution of the endemic alpine Helictotrichon parlatorei group are reviewed. Chapter 15 sheds some light on the evolution of sex chromosomes by comparing their divergence in the genera Salix and Populus. The role played by gene duplication in plant genome evolution is illustrated in Chapter 16 through a comparative functional study of the Medicago truncatula transcription factor PISTILLATA and its paralogs MtPI and MtNGL9. In Chapter 17, the role of transposable elements in plant genome evolution is investigated through the genome sequencing data of 211 Arabidopsis thaliana accessions. Finally, Chapter 18 reviews the role of plant centromere biology in evolution, with focus on atypical centromeres, such as holo- and neocentromeres. As an approach to the exciting field of chromosome engineering, the present book intends to be beneficial for college students, researchers and teachers.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
