Plant Molecular Genetics and Bioengineering

Walter Suza, Faizo Kasule, Philip W. Becraft, Thomas Lübberstedt, Madan K. Bhattacharyya

Description

This edited book presents an overview of the fundamental principles and applied methodologies used in the genetic improvement of crop plants. It covers the structure and function of genes controlling traits of agronomic importance, the regulation of gene expression and genetic pathways, and the role of mutations as a primary source of genetic variation underlying trait improvement. Additional topics include an introduction to molecular markers, recombinant DNA technology, plant transformation, and gene editing technologies. Learning activities are included to facilitate self-study.
