Introduction to Plant Biotechnology

By Nathan Mitchell

The branch of agricultural science that utilizes advanced scientific methodologies to alter plants for various purposes is referred to as plant biotechnology. Techniques like molecular markers, vaccines, tissue culture, molecular diagnostics, and genetic engineering are some of the techniques and tools used within this field. Crop biotechnology is a prominent subset that involves transferring desired traits from one plant species to another. These traits include flavor, growth rate, and resistance to pests and diseases. Diverse modification techniques, such as polyploidy, genome editing, mutagenesis, transgenics, and protoplast fusion, are important within plant biotechnology to get the desired result. This book provides significant information of this discipline to help develop a good understanding of plant biotechnology. It unfolds the innovative aspects of this area, which will be crucial for the holistic understanding of the subject matter. This textbook, with its detailed analyses and data, will prove immensely beneficial to students involved in this area at various levels.
