Research on crop improvement utilizing the potential techniques such as molecular biology and genetic engineering has resulted in remarkable achievements in the recent years. This book "Research Advances in Agricultural Biotechnology" is written to cater the needs of undergraduate, postgraduate students and research scholars of Indian Universities. The aim of the book is to bring in all the recent information of basic plant science and advanced researchers in agricultural/plant biotechnology in one volume. Important topics such as development of resistant various in crop plants using genetic engineering, production of transgenic cereals, pulses, millets, fruits and flowers, biofertilizers and its importance in crop productivity, vermicomposting methods and its advantages, biological control of disease and pest, role of growth hormones in crop improvement and seed technology are presented in detail.
