Recent advances in the development of transgenic plants have revolutionized our
concepts of sustainable food production, cost-effective alternative energy
strategies, microbial biofertilizers and biopesticides, and disease diagnostics
through plant biotechnology. As a result, a number of transgenic plants have
been developed with improved traits. With the advancement of plant
biotechnology, many of the customary approaches are out of date. This new
two-volume set, Plant Biotechnology, provides a plethora of current knowledge on
new as well as fresh approaches that are necessary to address biological
problems in plant food production. The volumes provide an informative tour of
plant biotechnology, covering the basics of biotechnology to recent advances,
taking a thorough
