About the Book

Plant Biotechnology

Plant Biotechnology is a fascinating and challenging field of research with wide scope and immense possibilities of producing improved varieties of plants free from pests and diseases and their mass production with a short time through tissue culture. Plant biotechnology, in the broadest sense, employs a range of biological, chemical, and engineering disciplines to develop the use of plant organisms in agricultural and industrial processes. Today, biotechnology is being used as a tool to give plants new traits that benefit agricultural production, the environment, and human nutrition and health. The purpose of this publication is to provide basic information about plant biotechno-logy and to give examples of its uses. Plant biotechnology, in the broadest sense, employs a range of biological, chemical, and engineering disciplines to develop the use of plant organisms in agricultural and industrial processes. This book explores many vistas of biotechnology, which will be useful for scientists and students to understand the latest techniques and processes of biotechnology research.
