The book "Utilising Biotechnology in Agricultural Genetics" describes how breakthroughs in biotechnology have transformed the field of agricultural genetics and its useful uses in breeding, crop development, and sustainable agriculture. The concepts of agricultural genetics, such as genetic diversity, inheritance patterns, genetic variation, and the genetic foundation of agronomic features in crops, are introduced in this book. Familiarity with a range of biotechnological instruments and methodologies utilised in agricultural genetics research, including genetic transformation, molecular markers, DNA sequencing, genotyping procedures, gene mapping, and so on. Investigation of genomic techniques in agricultural genetics, such as genome sequencing, genome-wide association studies, mapping quantitative trait loci, and genomic selection for crop development. Course material on the study of gene function and regulation in agricultural crops using functional genomics approaches such as transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and gene expression profiling. Examining gene editing methods such as zinc-finger nuclease, precise genome editing, targeted gene alteration in agricultural crops, disease resistance, abiotic stress tolerance, insect resistance, and nutritional enhancement. Examining how biotechnology can support sustainable farming methods such as integrated pest management, precision farming, biofortification, and conservation farming. It is anticipated that professionals working in agricultural biotechnology, genetics, breeding, and crop development, as well as researchers, educators, legislators, and students, will find great value in this book.
