The book entitled “Basic Concepts of Plant Biotechnology (with MCQs)” has been publishing when the recombinant DNA and sequencing of human and many plant genomes have been completed. This book contains almost 3000 multiple choice questions as well as fill in the blanks with answers covering all aspects of molecular biological systems of prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In writing the first edition, the aim is to provide all simple and difficult questions for weak students in plant molecular biology that have no more knowledge and have more problems in solving the questions. Therefore, in this book we included questions belongs to all basic concept of molecular biology which will provide strong knowledge to students preparing for competitive exams of life science like CSIR-NET, DBT-JRF, ICMR-JRF, ICAR-NET, ARS, PSC, graduate and post-graduate exams.
The book on “MCQ’s in Plant Breeding, Biotechnology and Seed Science” has been prepared with the idea of exposing the students those who are preparing for the competitive examinations like Agricultural Research Services, NET, Public Service Commissions, Institute of Banking Personnel Selection, University and Institute admissions etc. It has three major parts viz., Plant Breeding, Biotechnology and Seed Science. The book has 80 chapters consisting more than 3000 multiple choice questions with answers. Genetics, breeding methods, resistance breeding, mutation breeding and polyploidy breeding in Plant Breeding; cell biology, molecular biology, tissue culture, animal biotechnology and bioinformatics in Biotechnology; and seed formation, biology, production, post harvest processing, storage, health, marketing and legislation in Seed Science are some of the important chapters covered in the book. The book is prepared with latest informations and therefore, it will be highly useful to the teachers, scientists and students for updating their knowledge.
This book has been written to meet the specific needs of candidates appearing in Agriculture Research Services, CSIR, TIFR/NCBS, IISc (Bangalore), GATE, IIT-JAM, JRF, SRF, and Biology Olympiads and other competitive examinations. A large number of mind-boggling questions of advance levels are presented. We have tried our best with wide array of questions covering minutest details of the subject in simpler form. Objective Plant Physiology is an exclusive fundamental search based collection of multiple choice questions prepared for students mainly to help them revise, consolidate and improve their knowledge and skills. The book comprises of twenty nine chapters covering diffferent aspects of plant physiology containing more than 2650 questions accompained with their answers.
The discipline of plant breeding has undergone transformation due to the assimilation of the rapid developments in molecular biology. The existing books on plant breeding deal mainly with the classical approaches, while specialized books on molecular approaches usually lack discussion of the classical methods. The book Plant Breeding for 21st Century attempts to present the complete picture of plant breeding ranging from the classical to the molecular approaches applied to crop improvement. The book is divided into four sections: Classical Plant Breeding, Transgenic technology, Molecular Markers, and Miscellaneous. The first section deals with the classical plant breeding and is divided into eight chapters. The second section has four chapters and describes transgenic technology. The third section discusses various aspects of molecular markers and is spread over three chapters. The final section has a single chapter dealing with variety release, seed multiplication and intellectual property rights. This book is designed primarily for graduate students, viz., B.Sc. agriculture and B.Sc. science students with botany as one of the subjects, who would get their first exposure to plant breeding. It would also be useful for the post-graduate students, especially in botany, and to teachers of the subject. The book is written in simple and easy to understand language. Illustrations and photographs have been provided wherever they were expected to facilitate comprehension of the subject under discussion.
Basic Concepts of Plant Science covers all the important chapters of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Plant Pathology, Microbiology, Seed Science and Technology, IPR, Statistics and Agriculture Biotechnology. Tables provide information about history of all the subjects of plant science. In order to have better understanding of the topic figures have been incorporated (wherever required). Statistics and Biotechnology have been discussed in detail. The chapters are arranged in the order of increasing technical complexity. The book contains about 100 fill in the blanks, 500 MCQs and memory based questions (from previous years ICAR examinations with their answers), hence it is a complete book on Plant Science.
The book is primarily designed for B.Sc. and M.Sc. students of Biotechnology, Botany, Plant Biotechnology, Plant Molecular Biology, Molecular Biology and Genetic Engineering as well as for those pursuing B.Tech. and M.Tech. in Biotechnology. It will also be of immense value to the research scholars and academics in the field. Though ample literature is available on this subject, still a textbook combining biotechnology and genetic engineering has always been in demand by the readers. Hence, with this objective, the authors have presented this compact yet comprehensive text to the students and the teaching fraternity, providing clear and concise understanding of the principles of biotechnology and genetic engineering. It has a special focus on tissue culture, protoplasm isolation and fusion, and transgenic plants in addition to the basic concepts and techniques of the subject. It gives sound knowledge of gene structure, manipulation and plant transformation vectors. KEY FEATURES • Combines knowledge of Plant Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering in a single volume. • Text interspersed with illustrative examples. • Graded questions and pedagogy, Multiple choice questions, Fill in the blanks, True-false, Short answer questions, Long answer questions and discussion problems in each chapter. • Clear, self-explanatory, and labelled diagrams. • Solutions to all MCQs in the respective chapters.
This book aimed at learning various aspects / disciplines covered under the very broad / plethora of plant sciences facts and figures. The primary objective of this compilation is to help students analyse their knowledge of plants in context to cell biology, biochemistry, biotechnology, genetics, breeding, plant physiology, medicinal and aromatic plants along with botany. With the vast and enormous explosion of information available in plant sciences and allied disciplines, exam patterns are totally oriented towards multiple choice questions and objective type questions, as it is more reliable, precise and easier.
