Biotechnology is any technological application that uses biological systems, living organisms or derivatives thereof, to make or modify products or processes for specific use. The modern biotechnology can have a dramatic effect on the world economy and society. Biotechnology applications of particular interest include cell culture, genomics, molecular marker assisted breeding, cloning, bioprocessing and diagnostic testing, gene technology etc. Developments and researches in the application of biotechnology are underway in areas as diverse as pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, textile, aquaculture, forestry, chemicals, household products, environmental cleanup, food processing and forensics.
The present book “Biotechnology : Tissue Culture to Proteomics” provides an authoritative review account of many aspects of current interest and progress in the field of Biotechnology that has been made in the recent past. Major section includes articles on plant tissue culture and application of biotechnology in agriculture and medicine. Topic on Role of biotechnology in plant tissue culture; In vitro tissue culture studies in various leguminous plants; Regeneration and transformation in pigeonpea and legumes in general; In vitro micropropagation of medicinal plants; In vitro propagation of some medicinal plants as a biotechnological tool for conservation; Biotechnological applications in improvement of trees; In vitro clonal propagation through mature nodal segments of Gymnema sylvestre and development of transgenic plants resistant to fungal diseases provide necessary information using tissue culture technique. Topics covering information on Biotechnology in Astrobiology; Edible Vaccines; Bioinformatic tools for sequence analysis; Lipidomics; Proteomics have been specially included to project their role in 21st century.
This book will be useful to biotechnologists, biologists, agriculture scientists, researchers, teachers and students of plant sciences.
