Plant genetics is associated with the study of genes, heredity and genetic variations in plants. It is considered a field of botany and biology, but frequently intersects with other life sciences as well. There are major economic impacts of the study of plant genetics such as genetic modification of staple crops to increase their yield, confer pest and disease resistance or provide resistance to herbicides. An understanding of the mode of reproduction is vital for facilitating the manipulation and breeding of improved plant varieties. Research in modern plant genetics and the sequencing of many plant genomes are the results of genetic modification. Agrobacterium method and gene gun are the two predominant procedures for transforming genes in organisms. The various studies that are constantly contributing towards advancing technologies and the evolution of plant genetics are examined in detail in this book. Students, researchers, experts and all associated with this discipline will benefit alike from this book.
