Comprehensive Biotechnology

Plant Biotechnology has been introduced as a full course in undergraduate and postgraduate classes of several Universities. Plant Biotechnology has become a very diverse subject and the literature is not available to the students and teachers alike. In recent years enormous data are generated and also compiled in the form of reference books. It is difficult for the students and teachers to have access to this information at one place in consolidated form. The exorbitant price of the reference books is also a limiting factor in developing countries in obtaining required information. Therefore, an attempt has been made to make available all the information in one book at relatively affordable low price to students and teachers.
