Biotechnological Transformation for Sugarcane Management (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

Transformation of sugarcane plants through genetic engineering and molecular biology for crop improvement has been done for a while now. However, it is a time-consuming procedure that requires careful consideration of various factors. Therefore, developing an effective transformation strategy for any sugarcane variety continues to be a major technological challenge. This edited book, Biotechnological Transformation for Sugarcane Management, focuses on the core aspects of sugarcane biotechnological transformation and advanced approaches for augmenting plant development and production through intrinsic/extrinsic variations.

The chapters present comprehensive and updated information on sugarcane crop management in response to adverse climatic variables for sustainable production. It also delineates different approaches that support improvement of sugarcane as a renewable source of bioenergy. The changes at cellular and molecular levels and molecular breeding possibilities are also included.

The book discusses innovative interventions for how sugarcane copes with environmental stresses and the role of biochar on sugarcane crop improvement at different growth periods during stress. Management of abiotic stresses in sugarcane through conventional and molecular approaches is also covered. The volume discusses developments in biotechnological approaches and their impact on sugarcane output. Various techniques used in different countries for improving sugarcane output, handling pests, and improvement of harvest quality are also reviewed. The book also examines the past, present, and future of sugarcane by-products.

This informative book presents extensive recent and advanced information that can be applied for sugarcane crop improvement through biotechnological transformation and will be of great interest to agricultural scientists, molecular biologists, breeders, and policymakers around the world in this area.
