Biotechnology is the application of scientific techniques to modify and improve plants animals and microorganisms to enhance their value. Agricultural biotechnology is the area of biotechnology involving applications to agriculture. Agricultural biotechnology has been practised for a long time as people have sought to improve agriculturally important organisms by selection and breeding. Modern biotechnology has great potential to influence and benefit agriculture forestry and fisheries. New techniques of biotechnology offer the potential of moving any cloned gene from any organism into any other organism and confer much greater precision and speed in achieving results as compared to conventional techniques. This book is a comprehensive reference work on agricultural biotechnology. It brings together the principles and practice of contemporary agricultural biotechnology. Topics such as history and scope of agricultural biotechnology plant tissue culture techniques of genetic modification crop improvement production of transgenic crops etc. are described in detail. This book will be highly informative to all those concerned. 273 pp.
