Tóm tắt
This book includes 16 chapters prepared by specialists dealing with genetic transformation in relation to crop improvement. First chapter is a general overview that introduces various methods for plant genetic transformation and their applications to crop improvement. Further, a separate chapter deals with virus-based transformation method for functional characterization of plant genes involving gene transcript suppression. Three chapters exclusively deal with RNA interference (RNAi) and its relevance for developing resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. A special chapter dealing with antifungal plant defensins has been included. A separate chapter has been included regarding the application of transgenic approach for developing resistance to abiotic stresses. Six chapters deal with important crop plants such as rice, sugarcane, millets, pulses, tomato, and eucalyptus. A particular chapter deals with the potential of transgenic overexpression of glutamine synthetase in relation to crop improvement. Understanding the phytohormones biosynthetic pathways for developing engineered environmental stress-tolerant crops has been dealt separately. Furthermore, the status, potential, and challenges of transgenic crops have been covered in the last chapter. The book provides information on genetic transformation in relation to crop improvement. This book will be highly useful for students, research scholars, and scientists working in the area of crop improvement and biotechnology.
