DESCRIPTION |
|
| The promise that biotechnology holds for developing countries is well recognized. To ensure its practical applicability, it is imperative of utilize the rapid advances in biotechnology as well as optimally use the indigenous knowledge in this sector. In this context, the importance of a volume that offers a collection of concept papers and research articles on two important areas where biotechnology finds tremendous application viz. agriculture and environment can hardly be over-emphasized. The volume contains 35 papers which have been categorized in three broad sections viz. ‘Methodologies for Agricultural Improvement’, ‘Biomonitoring and Biomanagement of Environment’ and ‘Sustainability through Bio-inputs’. The lead papers in each section are planned to give an overview of the subject and reflect the research trends in relevant fields. The contributions are generously referenced and cover both basic and applied aspects as well as exemplify the biotechnological innovations for diverse problems being faced in agriculture and environment. The book is an invaluable and usable reference for agricultural and environmental scientists, especially tissue culturists, genetists, plant breeders, biochemists, microbiologists and biochemical and environmental engineers. It will also cater to the needs of post-graduate students and researchers of relevant disciplines. Also it should hold the attention of those having interest in recent trends and advances in various facets of agricultural and environmental biotechnology. |
