Biotechnology in Plants: Experimental Approaches and Methods

About The Book

In order to create useful goods for human use, biotechnologists manipulate living creatures. Production of food, management of trash, mining, and medicine are just a few of the many fields that benefit from biotechnology. Plant biotechnology is the practise of applying the knowledge gained from the study of life sciences to the development of new technologies and the modification of plant species’ genetic make-up to achieve specific goals. This can be done in a variety of ways, from simple methods like selecting plants with specific qualities for propagation to more involved molecular methods. Synthesizing new genes, fixing damaged ones, splicing together DNA from different organisms, and then manipulating the resulting recombinant DNA to create better bacteria, plants, and other organisms is the focus of genetic engineering. The field of bioprospecting is expanded dramatically through genetic engineering. The fundamental focus of the biotech sector is the discovery of novel genes and the development of methods for using them. Through inter-specific or inter-generic gene transfer, gene technology has allowed humans to introduce revolutionary new qualities into farmed plants, something that was impossible with the traditional method to crop development. This book is a comprehensive guide to the various Plant Biotechnology Techniques that have been shown to be of practical use in the field of genetic manipulation.
