Horticultural crops are attacked by a large group of pathogens inflicting moderate to heavy crop losses. Due to the increased demand of fruits and vegetables and other horticultural products, more efforts are being put in horticulture sector for further boosting production to meet increased demand. Although availability of planting material and designer agro-techniques has increased in horticulture sector but biotic factors continue to be the bane of horticulture ...
Nanotechnology is a broader term and used to describe various aspects of science and technology involved in the study, manipulation and control of individual atoms and molecules, to build machines on the scale of plant cells or create materials and products with nanoscale structures that enable novel applications. An attempt is made in this book to trace important consequences of the coming revolution in molecular nanotechnology, including consequences for the ...
With the increase in our knowledge and competency in molecular biology especially in isolation and cloning of important and useful genes of agronomic interest and development of useful transgenics, it is expected that biotechnology will play a major role in increasing the production and productivity of crop species and help in crossing the yield barriers. The transgene studies carried out world over in many laboratories for the past three decades have led to ...
Production of quality planting materials is fast becoming an important input in disease management programmes especially in production of disease/virus free plants. In addition, efficient plant regeneration systems are important for in vitro manipulations and transgenic pathways for crop improvement. In the present volume, the available information on the micropropagation and plant regeneration technologies developed for fruit crops, plantation crops and spices ...

Understanding biology and genetics at molecular level has become very important for better understanding and manipulation of genome architecture. Molecular markers have contributed significantly in this respect and have been widely used in plant science in a number of ways. This includes genetic fingerprinting, identification of duplicates, selection of core collections, determination of genetic distances, genome analysis, identification of markers associated ...
