Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Green biotechnology is one of the most important branches of modern biotechnology, focusing on agricultural applications that aim to improve crop productivity, sustainability, and environmental protection. As the global population continues to grow and the demand for food increases, traditiona…l agricultural methods alone are often insufficient to meet these challenges. Green biotechnology offers innovative scientific solutions to enhance crop yield, improve nutritional quality, and protect plants from pests, diseases, and environmental stresses.This book, Green Biotechnology, has been written to provide a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the principles, techniques, and applications of biotechnology in agriculture. The primary objective of this book is to help students, researchers, and general readers understand how modern biotechnology contributes to sustainable agriculture and food security. The subject is explained in a clear and systematic manner so that readers from different academic backgrounds can easily grasp the concepts.Green biotechnology integrates knowledge from several scientific disciplines, including genetics, molecular biology, microbiology, plant physiology, and agricultural science. Advances in these fields have made it possible to develop improved crop varieties through techniques such as genetic engineering, tissue culture, marker-assisted breeding, and genome editing. These technologies allow scientists to introduce desirable traits into plants, such as resistance to pests and diseases, tolerance to drought and salinity, improved nutritional content, and enhanced productivity.One of the major achievements of green biotechnology is the development of genetically modified (GM) crops. These crops are designed to express beneficial traits that help farmers reduce crop losses and decrease the use of chemical pesticides. For example, insect-resistant crops and herbicide-tolerant plants have transformed agricultural practices in many parts of the world. However, the development and use of GM crops have also generated discussions regarding biosafety, environmental impact, and ethical considerations. Understanding both the benefits and the concerns associated with these technologies is essential for making informed decisions about their use.Another important area covered in this book is plant tissue culture. Tissue culture techniques enable the rapid multiplication of plants under controlled laboratory conditions. This method is widely used for the propagation of disease-free plants, conservation of rare species, and improvement of crop varieties. Similarly, molecular breeding techniques have significantly accelerated the process of crop improvement by allowing scientists to identify and select desirable genetic traits more efficiently.In recent years, genome editing technologies such as CRISPR-based methods have opened new possibilities in plant biotechnology. These tools allow precise modification of plant genomes, enabling the development of crops with improved traits in a shorter period of time. Such advancements are expected to play a crucial role in addressing future agricultural challenges, including climate change, soil degradation, and limited natural resources.Green biotechnology also contributes to environmental sustainability. By developing crops that require fewer chemical inputs, biotechnology can help reduce pollution and protect ecosystems. Biofertilizers and biopesticides derived from microorganisms are increasingly used as eco-friendly alternatives to synthetic chemicals. These biological solutions support sustainable farming practices and help maintain soil health and biodiversity. This item is printed on demand.
