The book Genetic Engineering and Rice Biotechnology is primarity designed as a textbook for undergraduate-level. Author recognises that a sound grasp of basic principles is vital in any introduction to Genetic Engineering. Rice represents a unique opportunity for improvement through genetic engineering. This new book provides a detailed review of past and present developments in the genetic engineering of rice, as well as an informed examination of current genetic engineering material and methods. The text provides an introduction to the relevant basic molecular biology; the methods used to manipulate genes; and applications of the technology. Amongst cereals, rice commands a special position. it is truly a crop of global Importance. Almost half the world's population, particularly in East and Southeast Asia, depends on rice as the major source of nutritional calories, 95% is consumed by humans as an unprocessed food.
