Plant Genetic Engineering Series Vol 3: Improvement of Commercial Plants I
Description
The commercial use of plants has been of great concern for the human civilization from time immemorial. Recent advances in in-vitro regeneration and genetic transformation have made it possible to modify the plants as per the market demands which has revolutionized the biotechnology industries in the modern era. Considerable progress has been made in genetic transformation of commercial crop e.g. cotton, sunnhemp, potato, sugarcane, sugarbeet, tea, coffee, geraniums, orchids, citrus, coriander, sandalwood, legumes, bamboo, chestnut and several medicinal herbs etc. This volume contains knowledge on diverse plant species used for fibre, sugar, beverages, aroma, essential oils and secondary metabolites, flowers, wood and pulp based industries and market provided by the leading world experts.
