With a view to bring together as compactly as possible the basic theories, issues and approaches in the entire spectrum of heredity and genetics, the following papers have been assembled for the benefit of the student as well as practicing biotechnologist and biochemist. It encompasses the earliest propagations by Mendel with relevant inferences and implications in the then new discipline. It also covers specific applications in the areas of pharmacology, ...
Genetic Engineering is based on an understanding of the molecular aspects of genetic processes occurring in nature. The techniques of gene manipulation enable us to transcend conventional biological boundaries to create completely novel gene combinations and even new genes. This book presents the principles of gene manipulation and its associated techniques in sufficient details and also covers Biological replication of DNA, Protein synthesis and its regulation, ...
This innovative text provides an integrated approach to understanding biological defence mechanisms. It provides an overview of the general strategies adopted by organism to survive. Defence mechanisms to microorganisms, plants, nonchordates, vertebrates including human beings have been illustratively described.
The book introduces the reader to genetic engineering and explains about genetic modification, biotechniques in improving food properties and genetic recombination. It also describes various crops destroying pests and strategies of pest resistance; herbicide resistance, biological control, chemical control and disease resistance etc. The subject matter both as regards the arrangement of chapters as well as the contents of each chapter has been so graded, ...
