Description

Agricultural biotechnology falls under the domain of agricultural science. It uses the techniques of genetic engineering in order to modify crops to exhibit desired traits of growth rate, resistance to diseases and pests, size of crops, etc. The practice of traditional crossbreeding is used to mate two compatible species in order to create a new plant variety with all the desirable traits of the parents. Chromosomes in a crop can also be modified to induce polyploidy. This potentially influences the size and fertility of the crop. Besides these, genome editing, RNA interference and protoplast fusion can also be employed for plant engineering. This book elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to plant biotechnology. It presents researches and studies performed by experts across the globe. The extensive content of this book provides the readers with a thorough understanding of the subject.
