Features: This book systematically discusses the theory and methods of plant biotechnology, introducing both fundamental knowledge and the latest research progress in the field. The book is divided into three parts, with a total of 17 chapters.
Part 1, consisting of 7 chapters, covers the basic techniques and methods of plant tissue and cell culture. It systematically describes the principles of in vitro operations, plant tissue and cell culture, protoplast culture and fusion, plant virus elimination, and rapid propagation methods.
Part 2, with 6 chapters, introduces the principles and techniques of plant genetic engineering. It includes methods of gene cloning, construction of transformation vectors, genetic transformation techniques, transgenic detection, and the genetic and safety evaluation of transgenic plants.
Part 3, comprising 4 chapters, focuses on the application of plant molecular markers and assisted selection. It mainly discusses the construction of molecular marker linkage maps, an overview of plant genome research, molecular marker-assisted selection breeding, and practical application examples.
This book serves as a textbook for plant science and technology programs, primarily used for undergraduate and graduate teaching in relevant fields of agriculture and forestry. It is also a valuable reference for researchers working in plant biotechnology.
