The recent development in biotechnology have led to rapid progress in understanding the genetic basis of living organisms, and the ability to develop products and processes useful to human and animal health, food and agriculture, and industry. In agriculture, there is increasing use of biotechnology for genetic mapping and marker-assisted selection to aid more precise and rapid development of new strains of improved crops and livestock. Biotechnology application such as tissue culture and micro-propagation are being used for the rapid multiplication of disease-free planting materials. Designed for students and practitioners of agriculture, genetic engineering and related fields, this book describes new and potential applications of biotechnology in agricultural sector. This unique and up-to-date resource offering students an innovative and valuable presentation of the subject.
