The present book explores contemporary trend and techniques of plant biotechnology, illustrating the tremendous potential this technology has to change our world by improving the food supply. It guides students from plant biology and genetics to breeding to principles and applications of plant biotechnology. This book is recommended for undergraduate and post graduate level courses in plant biotechnology or plant genetics and for courses devoted to special topics at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. It is also an ideal reference for practitioners. Some of the techniques and tools used within this field are genetic engineering, molecular markers, vaccines, molecular diagnostics and tissue culture. One of its major sub-domains is crop biotechnology where a desired trait from one species of plant is added to an entirely different. There are diverse modification techniques which are used in plant biotechnology such as mutagenesis, polyploidy, protoplast fusion, transgenics and genome editing. This book elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to plant biotechnology. It aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of this field. Coherent flow of topics, student-friendly language and extensive use of examples make this book an invaluable source of knowledge.
