Summary

The study of plant genetics helps in understanding the structure and functions of genes in plants. These studies are used in crop biotechnology to modify plants and crops. Crop biotechnology uses the techniques of tissue culture, molecular markers and genetic engineering to produce desired traits in crops. The modification of crops aims to improve characteristics like disease resistance, flavor, size, color, etc. This book explores all the important aspects of plant genetics and crop biotechnology. It attempts to understand the multiple branches that fall under these disciplines and how such concepts have practical applications. Researchers, experts and students in these fields will be assisted by this book.
