About the Book
Genetic Resources and Biotechnology vol.1
Genetic Resources and Biotechnology, on the one hand, deals with plant, animal and microbial genetic resources , their nature description and utility as perpetual renewable assets and on the other with the techniques and practices of biotechnology so as to give a clear cut picture of the subject and also help the biologists keep abreast with the latest developments. The articles in this book provide not only an update of state of the art techniques in many critical areas of biotechnology, but also look into the future by defining bottlenecks and research goals.
This book, first of its kind, is the outcome of concerted efforts of a large number of experts who have not only recorded their ideas in the form of review articles but have also shared their thoughts which would be valuable to the user of this very useful title. The wide coverage, expertise of the contributors and potential for practical use of the contents will be of immense utility to scientists and students studying biological, environmental and life sciences. In addition, this book also provides an invaluable source of references to conservation workers, environmental mangers and policy makers.

Genetic Resources and Biotechnology, Volume Two consists of sixteen chapters provides an overview on biotechnology and its applications on the characterization, conservation and utilization of plant genetic resources such as wheat, musa, cacao, bean, Casuarina glauca, groundnut and other vegetable crops; transgenic technologies mechanisms; detection and prevention of infectious, genetic and heritable diseases; production of industrially important enzymes and secondary metabolites; in vitro plant propagation; donor genome exclusion and nuclear/ cytoplasm genotyping of the asymmetric somatic hybrids; plant growth and development and microbial fermentation. Written by authors from Argentina, Canada, China, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Italy, Korea, Nigeria, Pakistan, Portugal, UK, USA, and the West Indies, it is an indispensable volume illustrating the application of biotechnology in the various areas of plant animal and microbial genetic resources.

This third volume on Genetic Resources and Biotechnology covers important applied aspects in fifteen chapters contributed by eminent scholars. These include topics like cultivar identification in alfalfa using PCR- based chloroplast DNA fragment length polymorphism; resistance gene analogs in common bean; characterization and utilization of vegetable genetic resources using molecular approaches, molecular data analysis, fungal laccases and its role in biotechnology, phytosensing and phytoremeditaion; breeding banana and plantain to explore genetic polymorphism and predict progeny performance. Molecular characterization of bacterial resistance to heavy metals; molecular diversity transgenic technologies for developing bacterial and viral disease resistance in plants and for environmental monitoring and extraction of heavy metals; and the applications of molecular markers in phylogeny, breeding ecology, micro propagation and in vitro regeneration of agricultural crops, trees, ornamental, medicinal and aromatics plants. All the chapters are well supported by color and B/W photographs, and line drawings.
