Preface
The group of technologies that use biological matter or processes to generate new and useful products and processes define biotechnology. The plant biotechnology is increasingly gaining importance, because it is related to many facets of our lives, particularly in connection with global warming, alternative energy initiatives, food production, and medicine. This book, entitled Plant Biotechnology: Principles and Applications, is devoted to topics with references at both graduate and postgraduate levels. The book traces the roots of plant biotechnology from the basic sciences to current applications in the biological and agricultural sciences, industry, and medicine. The processes and methods used to genetically engineer plants for agricultural, environmental, and industrial purposes along with bioethical and biosafety issues of the tec
