Transgenic Technology Based Value Addition in Plant Biotechnology

Transgenic Technology Based Value Addition in Plant Biotechnology discusses the principles, methodology and applications of transgenic technologies. With step-by-step methods on genome editing techniques and a range of potential applications, from improving crop yield to increasing therapeutic efficacy, this book is a one-stop reference for plant gene editing technologies. It will be of particular interest to researchers interested in plant biotechnology and plant genetics, as well as agricultural scientists and those concerned with medicinal plants.

• Includes step-by-step methods to assist students and researchers with genome editing and bioinformatics tools
• Highlights a number of applications of plant biotechnology, including how to achieve desired traits, such as improved crop yield
• Discusses principles, methodology and applications of transgenic technologies

Dr. Usha Kiran is working with Jamia Hamdard University, New Delhi. She is investigating the use of bioinformatic tools to study signalling modulators that are being used by plant cells to evoke protective cellular response, especially proline biosynthesis and degradation during stress conditions. She has published one book (Plant Biotechnology: Principles and Application) in the capacity of co-editor.

Malik Zainul Abdin is a plant biotechnologist whose research focuses on sustainable agriculture and environmental stewardship. His work integrates plant biotechnology, metabolic engineering, and molecular genetics to improve crop productivity, phytochemical yield, and resilience. His research has contributed to the development of strategies for sustainable production, including the bioengineering of Artemisia annua to enhance artemisinin content and work on biosynthetic pathways, transgenic plants, and regulatory miRNAs. His broader research interests include plant genetic resources, crop improvement, stress tolerance, and the sustainable use of medicinal and aromatic plants. He has published extensively and contributed to patented research and innovations in plant science and related fields.
