This volume is the second of the new two-volume Plant Biotechnology
set. This volume covers many recent advances in the development of
transgenic plants that have revolutionized our concepts of
sustainable food production, cost-effective alternative energy
strategies, microbial biofertilizers and biopesticides, and disease
diagnostics through plant biotechnology. With the advancements in
plant biotechnology, many of the customary approaches are out of
date, and an understanding of new updated approaches is needed.
This volume presents information related to recent methods of
genetic transformation, gene silencing, development of transgenic
crops, biosafety issues, microbial biotechnology, oxidative stress,
and plant disease diagnostics and management. Key features:
Provides an in-depth knowledge of various techniques of genetic
transformation of plants, chloroplast, and fungus Describes
advances in gene silencing in plants Discusses transgenic plants
for various traits and their application in crop improvement Looks
at genetically modified foods and biodiesel production Describes
biotechnological approaches in horticultural and ornamental plants
Explores the biosafety aspect associated with transgenic crops
Considers the role of microbes in sustainable agriculture
This book, first of this new two-volume set, provides an
informative tour of the basics of biotechnology to recent advances
in biotechnology. Knowledge of new and fresh approaches is a
prerequisite to solving plant biological problems, and to this end,
the editors have brought together a group of contributors who
address the most recent techniques and their applications in plant
biotechnology. The chapters discuss some recent techniques such as
TILLING (Targeting Induced Local Lesions In Genomes), advances in
molecular techniques to study diversity, protein purification, and
methods and analysis in protein-protein interaction detection. The
volume also covers molecular markers and QTL mapping, including
four chapters that deal with different molecular markers,
development of mapping populations, and association mapping for
dissecting the genetic basis of complex traits in plants in
sufficient detail. The knowledge of biotechnology techniques and
their applications will be valuable for researchers and scientists
as well as for the many students engaged in plant biotechnology
studies.

Recent advances in the development of transgenic plants have
revolutionized our concepts of sustainable food production,
cost-effective alternative energy strategies, microbial
biofertilizers and biopesticides, and disease diagnostics through
plant biotechnology. As a result, a number of transgenic plants
have been developed with improved traits. With the advancement of
plant biotechnology, many of the customary approaches are out of
date. This new two-volume set, Plant Biotechnology, provides a
plethora of current knowledge on new as well as fresh approaches
that are necessary to address biological problems in plant food
production. The volumes provide an informative tour of plant
biotechnology, covering the basics of biotechnology to recent
advances, taking a thorough look at applications as well. The
editors have brought together a respected group of contributors who
address the most recent techniques and their applications in plant
biotechnology. Volume 1 covers the principles, techniques, and
applications while Volume 2 delves into transgenics, stress
management, and biosafety issues. The volumes share recent
information related to recent methods of genetic transformation,
gene silencing, development of transgenic crops, biosafety issues,
microbial biotechnology, oxidative stress, plant disease
diagnostics and management, and more. Broken into subsections, the
two volumes cover: History, scope and importance of plant
biotechnology Plant tissue culture Techniques in molecular biology
Molecular markers and QTL mapping Genetic transformation Gene
silencing in plant Transgenic crops and biosafety Microbial
biotechnology Oxidative stress Plant disease diagnostics and
management This two-volume set will be a valuable resource for
research and university libraries as well as for the many students
engaged in plant biotechnology studies as well as faculty and
researchers.
