Molecular Biology of Woody Plants
This two-volume book gives a broad coverage of various aspects of plant molecular biology relevant to the improvement of woody plants. The authors provide background information on genetic engineering and molecular marker techniques, and specific examples of species in which sufficient progress has been made.
Somaclonal Variation and Induced Mutations in Crop Improvement
Genetic variability is an important parameter for plant breeders in any con ventional crop improvement programme. Very often the desired variation is un available in the right combination, or simply does not exist at all. However, plant breeders have successfully recombined the desired genes from cultivated crop gerrnplasm and related wild species by sexual hybridization, and have been able to develop new cultivars with desirable agronomie traits, such as high yield, disease, pest, and drought resistance. So far, conventional breeding methods have managed to feed the world's ever-growing population. Continued population growth, no further scope of expanding arable land, soil degradation, env...

Love Shorts
Her name meant that she was a bird born to fly. Ironically, she had never learnt to fly. One fine day, she met him... The wings of love lead her to the skies... Will destiny let her fly forever or will the skies, be touched again, never ? Arranged Marriages aren't an easy crack anymore... or may be they were never... Rejecting 3 and rejected by 4, her present score is 3/4. She badly wants to level the scores. While she cannot let the next one reject her, she knows that rejecting isn't easy too. The story, they thought had ended, just turned out to be the beginning... They met again and this time for a little longer... Destiny's twist and his presence made her realize that her existence was for a much larger purpose than she had thought it to be... An accidental trip from Delhi to Dharamshala, where the trajectories of 4 lives intersect each other...Little do they know that this trip is going to change their lives forever - A story about realizing dreams, overcoming fears, discovering friendship and experiencing love ...
Transgenic Organisms and Biosafety
Gene/biotechnology and the broad use of genetically modified organisms is rapidly developing into a commercial enterprise. In spite of the pace of scientific progress in this field, a partly emotional debate is still being carried on by the general public and on the part of the consumer about the potential risks linked to this new technology. Especially when genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are tested in the open field, the question of "safety" is controversially discussed among different groups in society. Environmentalists are worried about unforeseeable dangers inherent in the release of a living organism, assuming that special risks are linked to organisms which have been modified b...
Applications of Biotechnology in Forestry and Horticulture
Major and exciting changes have taken place recently in various aspects of bio technology and its applications to forestry. Even more exciting is the prospect of major innovations that the entire field of biotechnology holds for plant growth in general. The importance of these developments for the forestry sector is considerable, particu larly since forestry science has not received the kinds of technical and R&D inputs that, say, agriculture has received in the past few decades. Y ct the problems of defor estation as well as stagnation in yields and productivity of existing forests throughout the world are becoming increasingly apparent, with consequences and ecological ef fects that cause ...
Somatic Embryogenesis in Woody Plants
The quality of human life has been maintained and enhanced for generations by the use of trees and their products. In recent years, ever rising human population growth has put tremendous pressure on trees and tree products; growing awareness of the potential of previously unexploited tree resources and environmental pollution have both accelerated development of new technologies for tree propagation, breeding and improvement. Biotechnology of trees may be the answer to solve the problems which cannot be solved by conventional breeding methods. The combination of biotechnology and conventional methods such as plant propagation and breeding may be a novel approach to improving and multiplying ...
