From manipulation of plant gene structure to the use of plants for bioenergy, biotechnology interventions in plant and agricultural science have been rapidly developing over the past ten years with immense forward leaps on an annual basis.   This book begins by laying the foundations for plant biotechnology by outlining the biological aspects including gene structure and expression, and the basic procedures in plant biotechnology of genomics, metabolomics, transcriptomics and proteomics. It then focuses on a discussion of the impacts of biotechnology on plant breeding technologies and germplasm sustainability. The role of biotechnology in the improvement of agricultural traits, production of industrial products and pharmaceuticals as well as biomaterials and biomass provide a historical perspective and a look to the future. Sections addressing intellectual property rights and sociological and food safety issues round out the holistic discussion of this important topic.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49624804720913,"sku":"GOR013427070","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50344682815761,"sku":"CIN0123814669G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0123814669.jpg?v=1750811556"},{"product_id":"plant-biotechnology-and-in-vitro-biology-in-the-21st-century-book-arie-altman-9780792358268","title":"Plant Biotechnology and In Vitro Biology in the 21st Century","description":"Achievements today in plant biotechnology have already  surpassed all previous expectations. Plant biotechnology, integrated  with classical breeding, is now on the verge of creating the  `evergreen revolution' to solve the world's envisaged tripled demand  for food, agricultural commodities and natural products. New  biotechnologies are being continuously adapted to agricultural  practices, opening new vistas for plant utilization. Plant  biotechnology is changing the plant scene in three major areas: (1)  growth and development control (vegetative, generative and  propagation), (2) protecting plants against the ever-increasing  threats of abiotic and biotic stress, (3) expanding the horizons by  producing specialty foods, biochemicals and pharmaceuticals. The  potential for improving plant and animal productivity and their proper  use in agriculture relies largely on newly-developed DNA biotechnology  and molecular markers. These techniques enable the selection of  successful genotypes, better isolation and cloning of favorable  traits, and the creating of transgenic organisms of importance to  agriculture.    These areas were extensively discussed at the 9th international  congress of the International Association of Plant Tissue Culture and  Biotechnology, `Plant Biotechnology and In Vitro Biology in the 21st  Century', which was held in Jerusalem in June 1998.

Following the First Symposium on the Biology of Adventi- tious Root Formation, held in Dallas. USA, 1993, we perceived the need to include all kinds of roots, not only the shoot-borne ones. The endogenous signals that control root formation. and the subsequent growth and development processes, are very much alike, re- gardless of the sites and sources of origin of the roots. Therefore, we included in the Sec- ond Symposium contributions on both shoot-borne (i.e., adventitious) roots and root-borne (i.e., lateral) roots. Plant roots have remained an exciting and an intriguing field of sciencc. During thc years that followed the first symposium, an exceptional proliferation of interest in root biology has developed, associated with the intensive research activity in this field and the contemporary developments in the understanding of root function and development. New methods have been applied, and old ideas and interprctations werc rccxamined. Alto- gether, it became necessary to update our viewpoints and to expand them.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52340842332433,"sku":"NLS9781461374671","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781461374671.jpg?v=1758171125"},{"product_id":"plant-biotechnology-and-in-vitro-biology-in-the-21st-century-book-arie-altman-9789401059664","title":"Plant Biotechnology and In Vitro Biology in the 21st Century","description":"Achievements today in plant biotechnology have already  surpassed all previous expectations.
