Book Description
Abstract: This book presents contemporary information on mutagenesis in plants and its applications in plant breeding and research. The topics are classified into sections focusing on the concepts, historical development and genetic basis of plant mutation breeding (chapters 1-6); mutagens and induced mutagenesis (chapters 7-13); mutation induction and mutant development (chapters 14-23); mutation breeding (chapters 24-34); or mutations in functional genomics (chapters 35-41). This book is an essential reference for those who are conducting research on mutagenesis as an approach to improving or modifying a trait, or achieving basic understanding of a pathway for a trait --.

Genetics and Breeding for Crop Quality and Resistance
Author: G.T. Scarascia MugnozzaPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9401144753
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 412
Book Description
The book highlights the state of research in plant genetics and breeding and the results and applications of biotechnology procedures: i.e. achievements and perspectives of molecular biology and genetic engineering in the improvement of quantitative, qualitative and nutritional characters of crops, including their resistance to pests and diseases and their adaptation to different ecosystems. The book is divided into seven chapters. The first six are focused on the research aimed at improvement of resistance to Fungi, Bacteria, Nematode, Virus and Insect, and improvement of Quality. The latter was assigned two keynote lectures, respectively on agro-food quality and on quality of wood plants. Each chapter begins with a keynote paper. The seventh chapter includes the special lectures which opened and closed the Congress.
Plant Gene Isolation

Pages : 470
Book Description
Gene isolation has now become an essential step in dissecting the molecular control of fundamental plant processes enabling their manipulation and improvement by genetic engineering. However, the isolation of the "gene of interest" often represents a formidable task, similar to looking for a "needle in a haystack." Many approaches are well established, but new approaches and techniques have been developed in recent years which can streamline the progress of a gene cloning project. Plant Gene Isolation: Principles and Practice, written by a team of international researchers, provides a comprehensive guide to the history, theoretical background and application of experimental methods needed to undertake the isolation of genes from plants. Laboratory procedures are described, including the advantages and disadvantages of methods and advice on which technique to use. Information on useful sources and suppliers is also given.
