Genetic Engieering and Functional Genome of Rice

Genetic Engineering of plants has become a powerful tool for crops improvement. It is involving gene cloning and manipulation of DNA in various ways. One of the greatest impacts of Genetic Engineering on society has been the successful manipulation of the genes of crop plants to make them more resistant to disease, and the forms of biotic and abiotic stress to improve their quantity and quality. Since Rice is considered as a main food crop for the majority of world population, it is a formidable task to meet the future demand using Genomic Approaches. This book is talking about: Genetic Engineering and its techniques in rice; Potential Application of Genetic Engineering in Rice; Characterization of Rice Genome; Functional Genomics of Rice; Discovery of Important Genes in Rice; Structure and Function of Flowering Control Activator gene; Mechanisms of Programmed Cell Death Genes and its Functional under biotic and abiotic stresses.
