Description
Plant Retrotransposons: Genomic, Evolutionary and Biotechnological Perspectives provides an in-depth examination of retrotransposons—mobile genetic elements that play a crucial role in plant genome evolution and organization. The book covers the fundamental mechanisms of retrotransposon activity, their classification, and their impact on plant genome structure and function.
Authors Deepu Pandita and Anu Pandita explore how retrotransposons have shaped plant evolution, contributed to genome complexity, and influenced gene regulation. The text addresses both the challenges and opportunities these elements present, including their role in genetic instability and mutations.
Additionally, the book highlights cutting-edge biotechnological applications of retrotransposon research, including their potential use in crop improvement, marker-assisted selection, and understanding plant adaptation. This comprehensive resource is essential for plant biologists, geneticists, and agricultural researchers seeking to understand the dynamic role of transposable elements in plant biology.
