Plant Biotechnology, Volume 2: Plant Biotechnology is on Transgenics, Stress Management, and Biosafety Issues is the second of this new two-volume set. This volume covers many recent advances in the development of transgenic plants that have revolutionized our concepts of sustainable food production, cost-effective alternative energy strategies, microbial biofertilizers and biopesticides, and disease diagnostics through plant biotechnology. With the advancements in plant biotechnology, many of the customary approaches are out of date, and an understanding of new updated approaches is needed. This volume presents information related to recent methods of genetic transformation, gene silencing, development of transgenic crops, biosafety issues, microbial biotechnology, oxidative stress, and plant disease diagnostics and management. This book is comprised of 13 chapters dealing with various aspect of plant biotechnology.

This volume, blending the basics, new advances, and their applications will be a helpful resource for research and university libraries as well as for the many students engaged in plant biotechnology studies as well as faculty and researchers.

Volume 1 of Plant Biotechnology is on Principles, Techniques, and Applications. The two volumes are available as a set or separately.
