Through understanding basic concepts of plant biotechnology and adopting improved genetically mutated seed verities, the grower as well as the consumer is benefited a great lot. “Plant Biotechnology†presents all the latest techniques of plant tissue culture, transformation and bioengineering at the outset and discuses in detail various issues of plant breeding, cloning, diseases resistances, herbicide and pest resistance. The book makes elaborate presentation on radiommunoassays, enzyme immunoabsorbent assays, genetic recombination, pharmaceutical products and solar energy that have immensely impacted the field of biotechnology. The book provides tremendous utility to students, teachers, researchers, farmers and general readers.
