Biotechnology And Biology Of Plants

Description

Plant biotechnology is the art, science and application of knowledge obtained from studying of life sciences. This is done in order to create technological improvements and change the genetics of plants so as to produce desired characteristics in plant species. These include picking plants with desirable characteristics for propagation, to more advanced techniques implemented at a molecular level.

Botany as a study has developed beyond study of how and why plants survive. Technological advancement has evolved the field into the study of how plants are used in biotechnology; their significance in the ecosystems and how they can continue to provide food, medicines, and fuel to a constantly increasing global population. This book will help students, teachers and research workers in the field of plant biotechnology, physiology, agriculture, and plant science.
