Plant biotechnology, integrated  with classical breeding, is now on the verge of creating the  `evergreen revolution' to solve the world's envisaged tripled demand  for food, agricultural commodities and natural products. New  biotechnologies are being continuously adapted to agricultural  practices, opening new vistas for plant utilization. Plant  biotechnology is changing the plant scene in three major areas: (1)  growth and development control (vegetative, generative and  propagation), (2) protecting plants against the ever-increasing  threats of abiotic and biotic stress, (3) expanding the horizons by  producing specialty foods, biochemicals and pharmaceuticals. The  potential for improving plant and animal productivity and their proper  use in agriculture relies largely on newly-developed DNA biotechnology  and molecular markers. These techniques enable the selection of  successful genotypes, better isolation and cloning of favorable  traits, and the creating of transgenic organisms of importance to  agriculture. \u003cbr\u003e  These areas were extensively discussed at the 9th international  congress of the International Association of Plant Tissue Culture and  Biotechnology, `Plant Biotechnology and In Vitro Biology in the 21st  Century', which was held in Jerusalem in June 1998. The present book  of proceedings contains the variety of scientific achievements and  techniques that were presented: Basic and Applied Aspects of Growth,  Development and Differentiation; Genetic Manipulations: Transformation  and Gene Expression, Hybridization, Haploidization and Mutagenesis;  Genetic Stability and Instability, Selection and Variability;  Regulation of Primary and Secondary Metabolism; Model Systems: Cell  Cycle, Transport and Signal Transduction; Biotechnology for Plant  Protection: Abiotic and Biotic Stress; Biotechnology for Crop  Improvement: Yield, Quality and Production of Valuable Substances;  Novel Micropropagation Methods; New Markets and Commercial  Applications; Intellectual Property Rights.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-11-05\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9789401059664\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401059664\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-4661-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 771\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44359110295692,"sku":"9789401059664","price":297.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401059664.jpg?v=1755101298","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789401059664","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
