Biotechnology to Improve Fruit Crops

About The Book

This book is a complete, easy-to-use, and well-illustrated guide to the most important fruit crops around the world. It tries to describe the most important parts of many of them, such as the important cultivars and plant materials, as well as the most important growing issues. Biotechnology is a way to change the products of living organisms using cell and tissue culture, molecular biology, and other methods to make new organisms with new traits. There is an overview of how biotechnology has helped improve fruit crops. In vitro regeneration, embryo rescue, somatic variation, haploid, protoplast fusion, non-morphological markers, in vitro conservation of germplasm, and recombinant DNA technology, also called genetic engineering, are all examples of biotechnologies. Some of the problems with sexual hybridization could be fixed by using new strategies that come from these new technologies. The use of biotechnology to improve fruit crops is talked about, with a focus on the problems with traditional methods and possible biotechnological solutions. The current study gives us a great overview of how biotechnology knowledge is being used to help people in India and around the world in one way or another. The main thing about this study is that it looks at all of biotechnology's progress in a fair way. With this in mind, this book has been put together to cover different aspects of biotechnology and fruit crop canopy management. This book talks about all the important fruits that grow in temperate, tropical, and sub-tropical areas.
