About the Book
Biotechnology is essentially an interdisciplinary are consisting of biochemistry, molecular chemistry, molecular and microbiology, genetics and immunology etc. it is concerned with up gradation of quality and also utilization of livestock and resources for the well being of both animals and plants. Some basic techniques of tissue culture, such as anther/microspore culture, somaclonal variation, embryo culture, and somatic hybridization, are being exploited to generate useful genetic variability for obtaining incremental improvement in commercial cultivars. Production of secondary metabolites, such as food flavors, food colors, dyes, perfumes, drugs, and scented oils used in aromatherapy, through cell cultures and hairy root cultures, are leading examples of molecular farming. This book will be of interest benefit to the students, teachers and researchers and all other interested in plant biotechnology.
