Introductory Biotechnology of Perennial Fruit and Nut Crops

Description

The broad field of biotechnology involves using biological processes, animals, cells, or cellular components to create new technologies. Biotechnologists create innovative equipment and products that are helpful in research, agriculture, business, and medicine. Genetic modification is one of the most significant and divisive concerns affecting the food sector. The current position of biotechnology for the world's principal temperate, subtropical, and tropical fruit and nut crop species is thoroughly covered in this book. More nut crop species are covered, in addition to more fruit crop species. This book examines its main effects on producing and processing fruits and vegetables. It also covers the use of molecular markers in plant breeding, how biotechnology might enhance plant defense mechanisms, and the alteration of agronomic qualities, including fruit quality and resistance to various environmental stress. It is crammed with exciting graphics that ably complement the text's justifications. It is mandatory reading for individuals who produce and process fruits and vegetables. This outstanding textbook is perfect for courses in fruit biotechnology at the undergraduate and doctoral levels and courses associated with this area of study.
