Plant Anatomy and Biotechnology

Plant Anatomy gives the fundamental concept of tissues and cells of the plants. It includes well-illustrated details of cell and cell formation. Special emphasis is also given to plant skeleton, Plant’s food, transport of food and water, nutrient of plant, secretion and excretion, reproduction of plant, plant pathology, reagents and processes. Biotechnology is a recently developed domain of research involving new techniques that have arisen out of interdisciplinary interaction and comprises genetic engineering, immobilization of biocatalytic systems, cultivation of animal, plant and microbial cells, development of used cell techniques and bioengineering processes and systems. Biotechnology has its roots in agriculture and brewing industry, but recent developments in genetic engineering and great advances in bioreactor design and computer aided process control have given it a new dimension which greatly extends the present range of technical possibilities. This book is a comprehensive text prepared according to the syllabi of several universities and colleges, provides a complete introduction to the Plant Anatomy and Biotechnology as encountered by the students during the preparation of their course material.
