Microbial Biotechnology in Agriculture and Aquaculture

Plant genetic engineering has revolutionized our ability to produce genetically improved plant varieties. A large portion of our major crops have undergone genetic improvement through the use of recombinant DNA techniques in which microorganisms play a vital role. The cross-kingdom transfer of genes to incorporate novel phenotypes into plants has utilized microbes at every step-from cloning and characterization of a gene to the production of a genetically engineered plant. This book covers the important aspects of Microbial Biotechnology in Agriculture and Aquaculture with and aim to improve crop yield.Ray, R.C. is the author of 'Microbial Biotechnology in Agriculture and Aquaculture ', published 2006 under ISBN 9781578084432 and ISBN 1578084431.
