This edited book gives an in-depth coverage of various aspects of biotechnological procedures followed by international scientists and researchers to sustain growth and improvement of forests in context of current climatic change.

Forests especially trees play a crucial role in maintaining the ecological balance as well as in the functioning of natural ecosystem. More importantly, they contribute to the economic growth of a country through its products such as timber, fuel, pharmaceuticals, fibre for textile industry and edible fruits. The denudation of trees due to urbanisation of towns/cities/villages by various construction activities and industrialisation directly impact the climate change resulting in global warming, short rainfall or erroneous weather currently experienced. This book is an effort to address these problems and attempts to find out solutions using biotechnological approaches. Most of the proposed chapters cover latest information. The proposed book deals with biotechnological aspects of forest trees such as micropropagation, somatic embryogenesis, somaclonal variation, synthetic seeds, cryopreservation, disease amangement and genetic engineering. Further, applications and limitations of these approaches to improve the forest trees are discussed.

The book is of relevance to teachers, students and researchers working in area of forest and plant biotechnology globally.

He also worked as a Visiting Scientist at USDA’s Vegetable Laboratory Beltsville Agriculture Research Centre, Maryland, and later at the Department of Natural Resource Sciences and Landscape Architecture, University of Maryland, USA.

Much earlier, Dr. Razdan was awarded a prestigious Commonwealth Bursary by the Royal Society, London, which enabled him to do postdoctoral research in the laboratory of world-known plant scientist Professor E.C. Cocking, FRS, on plant cell and tissue culture, including somatic cell genetics, at the Department of Botany, University of Nottingham, UK. Post retirement Dr. Razdan served as a Visiting Facility of Life Sciences at IGNOU (Indira Gandhi National Open University), New Delhi and Advisor at Shyam Lal Charitable Trust, Delhi, India. He has publications in reputed research journals, guided students for Ph.D./M.Phil., refereed research papers for publication in scientific journals and published several books with reputed publishers like Elsevier and Science Publishers. These books have received good reviews in international scientific journals and can be accessed in libraries the world over.

Dr. Razdan was a Joint Editor and Member of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Cytology and Genetics and has had the honour of being elected as a Fellow of the Society of Cytologists and Geneticists (FSCG). He was invited to visit Moscow in 1993 to deliver lectures and exchange scientific experience at various institutes under the Russian Academy of Science. He was invited to visit China in 2018 to deliver lectures. He has been a Member of the Delhi University Academic Council and a Member of the Delhi University Court.
