Description
Plant genetics has become a fascinating field of study because it has made it possible to manipulate plants' biological systems in ways that have never been possible before. Plant genetics has been used extensively to expand crop fields, enhance crop quality, and lower production costs. New gene combinations with novel properties, including as resistance to pests, diseases, and herbicides, are created by the new transgenic procedures. These transgenic agricultural plants hold significant potential for the future of global agriculture since it is now feasible to create plants that offer components for healthier nutrition, thrive in adverse environments, or create compounds that would otherwise be created through a difficult chemical procedure. An overview of the quickly evolving area of plant genetics and its applications is given in this book. The work has been written in straightforward language to make it simple to understand the intricate concepts of plant genetics. It not only provides the reader with a comprehensive understanding of genetics as a whole, but is also tailored to meet the needs of students studying botany and other related subjects. The book can be used as a reference by researchers and post-doctoral students, university professors, and instructors. It is particularly meant for undergraduates and postgraduates in biology, botany, and biotechnology. |
