Content:
"With the aim of helping to combat the challenge of providing enough food for the world, Volume 1 of this comprehensive three-volume set book, Biotechnologies and Genetics in Plant Mutation Breeding, focuses on improvement of plant agronomic characters by manipulating the genotype of plant species with induced mutagenesis in order to increase crop productivity, both in quantity and quality. Volume 1: Mutagenesis and Crop Improvement provides important coverage of mutagenesis, cytotoxicity, and crop improvement in plants along with explanations of the processes, mutagenic effectiveness, and efficiency and mechanisms of mutagenesis. Importantly, the authors also cover the principles, applications, and scope of mutagenesis. Several chapters focus on mutation-induced cytological aberrations and cytotoxicity and on in-vitro mutagenesis to exploit the somaclonal variations induced in cell culture. There is also emphasis on improvement of agronomic characteristics by manipulating the genotype of plant species, resulting in increase in productivity"--
