Plant genetic engineering has revolutionized our ability to produce genetically
improved
plant varieties. A large portion of our major crops have undergone genetic improvement
through the use of recombinant DNA techniques in which microorganisms play a
vital role. The cross-kingdom transfer of genes to incorporate novel phenotypes
into plants has utilized microbes at every step-from cloning and characterization
of a gene to the production of a genetically engineered plant. This book covers
the important aspects of Microbial Biotechnology in Agriculture and Aquaculture
with and aim to improve crop yield.
