Application of Plant Genomics and Biotechnology

Description

Represent the cutting edge of contemporary agricultural and biological sciences, respectively. The high-yielding wheat, rice, maize, and barley seeds created by the new science, this gene revolution, resulted in a dramatic change in the world's food resources, moving them from a condition of persistent scarcity to abundance and even surplus. There are a few ways in which plant genetics differs from animal genetics. Because chloroplasts have their own DNA, like mitochondria, pedigrees are a little more complicated. Like in animals, somatic mutations frequently occur in plants, but they can easily contribute to the germ line because flowers grow at the tips of somatic cell-based branches. This has been known to people for millennia, and the mutated branches are referred to as "sports." A new cultivar might be acquired if the sport's fruit is commercially desirable. In recent years, plant biotechnology has advanced significantly. Plant biotechnology originates from the collection of seeds from people's favorite wild plants and their subsequent cultivation in cultivated fields. It seems that the seeds of the most desirable plants were saved after harvesting and planted the next growing season again. The current publication aims to provide the reader a thorough understanding of plant biotechnology in all its forms by including enough details and examples. This book examines a wide range of biotechnology topics, making it useful for scientists and students to comprehend the most recent procedures and methods in biotechnology and plant genetics.
