Description for Biotechnology of Crucifers
paperback. This book examines recent advances in the field and looks to the future of genetic engineering and manipulation. It will benefit students, nutritionists, and biotechnologists, as well as researchers engaged in the improvement of Brassicas. Editor(s): Gupta, Surinder Kumar. Num Pages: 252 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PST; PSTL. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 235 x 155 x 14. Weight in Grams: 397.
Despite the recent advances made in the improvement of crucifer crops using conventional breeding techniques, the yield levels and the oil and meal quality could not be improved as expected. The understanding of genetic material (DNA/RNA) and its manipulation by scientists has provided the opportunity to improve crucifers by increasing its diversity beyond conventional genetic limitations. The application of the biotechnological techniques will have major impacts in two ways: first, it provides a number of techniques/methods for efficient selection for favorable variants and second, it gives an opportunity to utilize alien variation available in the crucifers by using the novel ...
