Plant genetics and applied biotechnology

About The Book

Plant genetics and biotechnology have given us the green revolution and the oilseeds 'yellow' revolution. This gene revolution created high-yielding wheat, rice, maize, and barley seeds that changed the world's food supply from chronic shortages to abundance and surplus. Plant genetics and animal genetics are distinct. Chloroplasts have DNA, which complicates pedigrees. Like animals, plants have somatic mutations, but they can easily contribute to the germ line as flowers form at the ends of somatic branches. Mutant branches are dubbed "sports" Obtain a new cultivar if the sport's fruit is economically valuable. Plant biotechnology has made great strides. Plant biotechnology originated when people began cultivating wild plant seeds in maintained areas. It indicates that the most desirable plant seeds were saved and sown the next year. This publication seeks to give the reader a broad understanding of plant biotechnology. This book will help scientists and students comprehend the newest biotechnology and plant genetics techniques and processes
