Description

The purpose of bringing out this publication is to link biotechnological and bioinformatics tools with plant breeding. The need of an interpretation of the recent developments in plant-breeding is emphasized further by growing interest in agriculture, horticulture and floriculture. Conventional plant breeding involves changing the genes of a plant so that a new and better variety is developed. New varieties of plants are bred to suit different climate conditions, improve taste or nutritional value, cope with disease or pests better, or to use water or nutrients more efficiently for example. Most crops developed through biotechnology that are on the market today provide farmers with increased convenience and product quality while requiring fewer chemical inputs. A biotech crop is a crop plant that has been genetically engineered using recombinant DNA technology either to promote orto prevent the production of a particular protein, with the objective of introducing or enhancing a desirable characteristic in the plant or seed. This book is very useful to the researchers and students in the field of genetics and plant breeding using biotechnological tools.
