Fungi are important plant pathogens which can be responsible for
significant yield losses and in some cases, even complete losses in
the infected fields or crops. In many cases, fungi coexist in
symbiotic association with plant roots and provide benefits to the
plants. Therefore, understanding the diversity of the fungi that
interact with plants both in symbiotic and pathogenic interaction
is critical to harness the beneficial species and strains and
control the pathogenic species and strains. Developments in the
field of molecular biology move very fast comparatively, books
covering the various aspects of molecular biology of fungi are
always welcomed by scientists. Features recent trends in
phytomycology and fungal biology studies using modern molecular
tools. Contains information on improved methods in genetics,
genomics and metabolomics.
Agriculture plays a pivotal role in the economy and development of
Pakistan providing food to consumers, raw materials to industries,
and a market for industrial goods. Unfortunately, agricultural
production is stagnant due to several barriers including a fixed
cropping pattern, reliance on a few major crops, a narrow genetic
pool, poor seed quality, and a changing climate. In addition, the
high cost of production, weak phytosanitary compliance mechanisms,
and a lack of cold chain facilities makes Pakistan agriculturally
uncompetitive in export markets. Despite all these issues,
agriculture is the primary industry in Pakistan and small farmers
continue to dominate the business. Small farmers grow crops for
subsistence under a fixed cropping pattern and a holistic approach
is required to develop agriculture to improve the livelihoods of
the rural populace. This book presents an exhaustive look at
agriculture in Pakistan. Chapters provide critical analyses of
present trends, inadequacies in agriculture, strategic planning,
improvement programs and policies while keeping in view the natural
resources, plant- and animal-related agricultural production
technologies, input supplies, population planning, migration and
poverty, and balanced policies on finance, credit, marketing, and
trade.
Applied Molecular Biotechnology: The Next Generation of Genetic
Engineering explains state-of-the-art advances in the rapidly
developing area of molecular biotechnology, the technology of the
new millennium. Comprised of chapters authored by leading experts
in their respective fields, this authoritative reference text:
Highlights the latest omics-based tools and approaches used in
modern biotechnology Explains how various molecular biology
technologies can be used to develop transgenic plants and how those
plants can meet growing food and plant-derived product demands
Discusses chloroplast gene expression systems, mitochondrial omics,
plant functional genomics, and whole-genome resequencing for crop
improvement Explores plant-microbe and plant-insect interactions
affecting plant protection and productivity Covers animal models,
pharmacogenomics, human tissue banking, and the molecular diagnosis
of diseases such as cervical cancer, obesity, and diabetes Examines
the molecular aspects of viral diseases, production of industrial
commodities using viral biotechnology, and biotechnological uses of
magnetic nanoparticles Describes the use of biotechnology in the
food, chemical, pharmaceutical, environmental conservation, and
renewable energy sectors Applied Molecular Biotechnology: The Next
Generation of Genetic Engineering serves as a springboard for new
discoveries in molecular biology and its applications. Thus, this
book is an invaluable resource for students and researchers of
molecular biotechnology.
