Chapters cover the structure of centromeres from several plant species including Arabidopsis thaliana, rice, maize, wheat and beet, while other sections cover several unique characteristics associated with plant centromeres, including classical and modern neocentromeres, centromere drive and centromere misdivision.  Additional chapters are dedicated to epigenetic modification and evolution of plant centromeres, and development and application of plant artificial chromosomes. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWritten by an international group of experts in the field, Plant \u003ci\u003eCentromere Biology\u003c\/i\u003e is a valuable handbook for all plant scientists working on plant genome research.  Beyond the bench, it can also serve as a helpful reference tool or textbook for upper level college classes on cytogenetics or genome analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1 Arabidopsis Centromeres 3\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eMinoru Murata\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2 Rice Centromeres 15\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eJiming Jiang\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3 Maize Centromeres 25\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eGernot Presting\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4 A Molecular Cytogenetic Analysis of the Structure, Evolution, and Epigenetic Modifi cations of Major DNA Sequences in Centromeres of Beta Species 39\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eFalk Zakrzewski, Beatrice Weber, and Thomas Schmidt\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5 Centromere Synteny among Brachypodium, Wheat, and Rice 57\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eLili Qi, Bernd Friebe, and Bikram S.
