Description
This comprehensive textbook bridges the critical gap between genetic conservation and modern plant biotechnology, making it an essential resource for postgraduate students and researchers in agriculture, botany, and life sciences. The book thoroughly explores how genetic diversity serves as the foundation for crop improvement and food security, while examining cutting-edge biotechnological tools used to preserve and utilize plant genetic resources.
What sets this work apart is its integrated approach—it doesn’t just catalog genetic resources or describe biotechnology techniques in isolation. Instead, it demonstrates how these fields converge to address real-world challenges like climate adaptation, disease resistance, and sustainable agriculture. The content covers germplasm conservation, molecular markers, tissue culture techniques, genetic engineering, and genomics applications with clarity suitable for Indian university curricula.
Ideal for MSc and PhD students in plant sciences, agricultural biotechnology, and genetics, this book also serves as a valuable reference for researchers working in crop improvement programs and plant conservation initiatives across India and beyond.
