This new 2-volume set explores new research and perspectives in
genetic engineering, which enables the precise control of the
genetic composition and gene expression of organism. This powerful
technology can be used for environmental sustainability, food and
nutritional security, medicinal advancement, and more. Genetic
Engineering aims to provide a deep understanding of the many
aspects of this emerging technology and its diverse applications.
Genetic Engineering, Volume 1: Principles, Mechanism, and
Expression covers genetic engineering concepts, molecular tools,
and technologies utilized in the manipulation, amplification, and
introgression of DNA. The volume explains the concepts of genetic
engineering, enzymes of genetic engineering, and tools used in
genetic engineering. It provides an introduction of recombinant DNA
into host cells and discusses the linking of desired gene with DNA
vector/gene cloning vector, polymerase chain reactions, the concept
and nature of genes, blotting techniques, chromosome jumping,
electrophoresis, genetically engineered microorganisms, and
molecular markers and their applications. Genetic Engineering,
Volume 2: Applications, Bioethics, and Biosafety expresses the
various appreciation and challenges of genetic engineering and
issues related to bioethics and biosafety. Chapters cover the legal
issues of genetic engineering, including intellectual property
rights (IPR) and protection (IPP) and the patenting of living
organisms, copyrights, trade secrets, and trademarks. The volume
considers the safety and benefits of genetic engineering in human
welfare, such as in genetically engineered Bt and Bt cotton, along
with the biohazards of recombinant DNA technology. Chapters explain
genetically modified organisms and microorganisms, genetic
engineering of horticultural crops, genetic engineering in the
agricultural sciences, and more. This 2-volume book will be a
valuable asset to upper-level students in cell biology as well as
to faculty and researchers involved in genetics, molecular
genetics, biochemistry, biotechnology, botany, zoology and
agriculture sciences.
This comprehensive three-volume set book, Biotechnologies and
Genetics in Plant Mutation Breeding, aims to help combat the
challenge of providing enough food for the world by use of advanced
process of genetics to improve crop production, in both quantity
and quality. Volume 1: Mutagenesis and Crop Improvement first deals
with mutagenesis, cytotoxicity, and crop improvement. It discusses
the processes, mutagenic effectiveness, and efficiency and
mechanisms of mutagenesis and covers the principles, applications,
and scope of mutagenesis as well. Several chapters focus on
mutation-induced cytological aberrations and cytotoxicity. There is
also emphasis on improvement of agronomic characteristics by
manipulating the genotype of plant species, resulting in increase
in productivity. Volume 2: Revolutionizing Plant Biology presents
the use of mutagenesis and biotechnology to explore the variability
of mutant genes for crop improvement. In this volume, the chapters
deal with in-vitro mutagenesis to exploit the somaclonal variations
induced in cell culture. The chapters highlight the importance of
in-vitro mutagenesis in inducing salt resistance, heat resistance,
and draught resistance. Volume 3: Mechanisms for Genetic
Manipulation of Plants covers the different genetic engineering
techniques that are used to mutant genes and to incorporate them in
different plant species of cereals, pulses, vegetables, and fruits.
Chapters also address in-vitro mutagenesis, which allows specific
mutations to be tailored for type and position within the gene.
Also discussed are the principles of genetic engineering in which
mechanism and action of transfer of desired genes from plants to
animals to microorganism and vice versa. Key features: Discusses
the applications and principles of mutation breeding Focuses on the
applications of mutation breeding in genetic engineering Explains
the identification and transfer of desired genes of mutants into
desired plants The chapters are supported by authentic data of the
Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and other
international agencies, highlighting the important role of
mutagenesis in crop improvement. With its focus on promising
techniques to help to combat food scarcity in the world both in
quality and yield, these three volumes will be a valuable asset for
advanced students, faculty, scientists, and researchers in
biotechnology and genetic engineering as well as those in botany,
agriculture, and horticulture.
With the aim of helping to combat the challenge of providing enough
food for the world, Volume 1 of this comprehensive three-volume set
book, Biotechnologies and Genetics in Plant Mutation Breeding,
focuses on improvement of plant agronomic characters by
manipulating the genotype of plant species with induced mutagenesis
in order to increase crop productivity, both in quantity and
quality. Volume 1: Mutagenesis and Crop Improvement provides
important coverage of mutagenesis, cytotoxicity, and crop
improvement in plants along with explanations of the processes,
mutagenic effectiveness, and efficiency and mechanisms of
mutagenesis. Importantly, the authors also cover the principles,
applications, and scope of mutagenesis. Several chapters focus on
mutation-induced cytological aberrations and cytotoxicity and on
in-vitro mutagenesis to exploit the somaclonal variations induced
in cell culture. There is also emphasis on improvement of agronomic
characteristics by manipulating the genotype of plant species,
resulting in increase in productivity. Volume 2: Revolutionizing
