Genetic Techniques to Crop Improvement

Adverse environmental conditions, such as drought, flooding, and extreme heat and so on, affect crop yields more than pests and diseases. Thus, a major goal of plant scientists is to find ways to maintain high productivity under stress as well as developing crops with enhanced nutritional value. Genetically-modified (GM) crops can prove to be powerful complements to those produced by conventional methods for meeting the worldwide demand for quality foods. This book provides comprehensive information on the latest tools and techniques of molecular genetics and their applications in crop improvement.
