This comprehensive three-volume set book, Biotechnologies and Genetics in Plant Mutation Breeding, aims to help combat the challenge of providing enough food for the world by use of advanced process of genetics to improve crop production, in both quantity and quality.

Volume 1: Mutagenesis and Crop Improvement first deals with mutagenesis, cytotoxicity, and crop improvement. It discusses the processes, mutagenic effectiveness, and efficiency and mechanisms of mutagenesis and covers the principles, applications, and scope of mutagenesis as well. Several chapters focus on mutation-induced cytological aberrations and cytotoxicity. There is also emphasis on improvement of agronomic characteristics by manipulating the genotype of plant species, resulting in increase in productivity.

Volume 2: Revolutionizing Plant Biology presents the use of mutagenesis and biotechnology to explore the variability of mutant genes for crop improvement. In this volume, the chapters deal with in-vitro mutagenesis to exploit the somaclonal variations induced in cell culture. The chapters highlight the importance of in-vitro mutagenesis in inducing salt resistance, heat resistance, and draught resistance.

Volume 3: Mechanisms for Genetic Manipulation of Plants covers the different genetic engineering techniques that are used to mutant genes and to incorporate them in different plant species of cereals, pulses, vegetables, and fruits. Chapters also address in-vitro mutagenesis, which allows specific mutations to be tailored for type and position within the gene. Also discussed are the principles of genetic engineering in which mechanism and action of transfer of desired genes from plants to animals to microorganism and vice versa.

Key features:



Discusses the applications and principles of mutation breeding
Focuses on the applications of mutation breeding in genetic engineering
Explains the identification and transfer of desired genes of mutants into desired plants

The chapters are supported by authentic data of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and other international agencies, highlighting the important role of mutagenesis in crop improvement.

With its focus on promising techniques to help to combat food scarcity in the world both in quality and yield, these three volumes will be a valuable asset for advanced students, faculty, scientists, and researchers in biotechnology and genetic engineering as well as those in botany, agriculture, and horticulture.
