Transgenic Technology Based Value Addition in Plant Biotechnology discusses the principles, methodology and applications of transgenic technologies. With step-by-step methods on genome editing techniques and a range of potential applications, from improving crop yield to increasing therapeutic efficacy, this book is a one-stop reference for plant gene editing technologies. It will be of particular interest to researchers interested in plant biotechnology and plant genetics, as well as agricultural scientists and those concerned with medicinal plants.

Includes step-by-step methods to assist students and researchers with genome editing and bioinformatics tools Highlights a number of applications of plant biotechnology, including how to achieve desired traits, such as improved crop yield Discusses principles, methodology and applications of transgenic technologies

Sustainable Science and Technologies for Agriculture and Environment: SDG Perspectives explores the mechanistic link between the environmental stress responses mediated by plant growth stimulants and the resulting agricultural stability and food security aligned with targeted SDGs. Sections provide insights on novel green initiatives designed to align crop production and environmental remediation with the aid of growth stimulants-mediated mechanisms for growth, physiology, and yield improvements. Scientists, students, and academics in agriculture, crop, and environmental sciences will find this resource valuable in understanding the current status of the SDG goals, as well as for inspiring future research.The book enables the reader to understand the impact of persistent environmental concerns, contaminants, and health risks in the face of increasing global population and resulting environmental and agricultural needs.Provides graphical representations of processes, pathways, signaling networks, and mathematical interventions to optimize real-world applicationsExplores current climate change impacts and the need for action to protect agriculture and the environmentSuggests future research opportunities based on past developments and SDGs urgency

The book traces the roots of plant biotechnology from the basic sciences to current applications in the biological and agricultural sciences, industry, and medicine. Providing intriguing opportunities to manipulate plant genetic and metabolic systems, plant biotechnology has now become an exciting area of research.  The book vividly describes the processes and methods used to genetically engineer plants for agricultural, environmental and industrial purposes, while also discussing related bioethical and biosafety issues. It also highlights important factors that are often overlooked by methodologies used to develop plants’ tolerance against biotic and abiotic stresses and in the development of special foods, bio-chemicals, and pharmaceuticals.   The topics discussed will be of considerable interest to both graduate and postgraduate students. Further, the book offers an ideal reference guide for teachers and researcher alike, bridging the gap between fundamental and advanced approaches.
