Biotechnological tools supplement various conventional approaches in conservation, characterization and utilization for increasing production and productivity of agricultural and horticultural crops. The emerging field of bioinformatics is an integrated field arising from merging of biology and informatics. It is a conglomeration of various new frontiers of science like genomics, proteomics, metabolomics etc. The rich warehouse of proteome and genome information ...
Biotechnology is emerging as one of the most innovative technologies in life sciences. It provides a set of tools, which if appropriately integrated with other technologies can be applied for the sustainable development of agriculture. Tissue culture is being used to propagate rapidly difficult root crops and conserve endangered/rare medicinal plants. PCR technology has made it possible to fingerprint genotypes and understand their genetic relationships in a ...
In the face of growing demand for more food crops, agricultural yield is challenged by two concerns: availability of arable land and reduced water resources for irrigation. Biotechnology offers several tools that can be used appropriately for sustainable agriculture. Recent advances in molecular biology and recombinant DNA Technology can make improved production and pest resistant crops with increased nutritive value a reality.The book has 21 chapters contributed ...
