Foreword
At a time when biotechnological applications are moving into innovative areas and the technology is transforming itself with quicker, cheaper, and pre dictable options, this publication is very timely. Many of us are aware that biotechnology has contributed immensely to our ability to deal with environmental and agricultural applications, starting from the Ananda Chakrabarty’s engineered bacteria to the CRISPRCAS9 technology. These developments have increased our ability to access and experiment with novel combinations of genes and resulting characters. The selection of chapters in this compilation is varied providing the reader an overview of current applications and challenges in relation to biotechnology for agriculture and environment. Particularly intriguing is the fact that the chapters, focusing on application of microbial biotechnology for environment and agriculture, deal with advanced applications such as nano-biotechnology to use of biocontrol agents with
