The book has been comprehensively designed to cover all most all the significant aspects of biotechnology. It has been divided in six important volumes to keep the size of the book handy. Each and every volume of the book is having its own importance as far as the wider understanding of biotechnology is concerned. Various topics such as sustainable agricultural productivity cell culture gene cloning and recombinant DNA Technology has been widely touched in the first very volume of the book. Multi facet application of biotechnology in the field of agriculture has been incorporated in this particular part of the book which will be supportive to the readers to expand their understanding of biotechnology. All most all the aspects of biotechnology pertaining to agriculture has been synthesized in first very volume of the book Comprehensive Biotechnology. The second very volume of the book Comprehensive Biotechnology is Crop Biotechnology. It extensively covers all the aspects of biotechnology pertaining to crop productivity or generation. This particular vol.…
