        RNA Interference

        Methods for Plants and Animals

        by Edited by Tim Doran, Chris Helliwell.

        The Principles & Protocols Series is designed for upper level undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers, particularly those new to a field. Books in the series outline the theoretical background to experimental approaches, followed by bullet-point protocols, which are generic and can be adapted for particular systems. RNA interference (RNAi) has been one of the most exciting and significant new methodologies to appear in the past decade, and it now finds widespread application. This methods manual provides an introduction to the phenomenon to RNA Interference and specific protocols for RNAi, in organisms from plants and C.elegans to Drosophila and mammals. Also included are chapters covering small hairpin RNAs and viral-induced gene silencing.

        Bt Resistance

        Characterization and Strategies for GM Crops Producing Bacillus thuringiensis Toxins

        by Edited by Mario Soberón, Yulin Gao, Alejandra Bravo.

        Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) bacteria use Cry proteins to kill their insect larval hosts. The expression of certain Cry toxins in transgenic crops has been widely used to achieve efficient control of insect pests. This book describes the use of Bt crops and the emerging problem of resistance, recent progress in understanding the mechanism of action of Bt toxins, different resistance mechanisms and strategies to cope with resistance in the field. It describes resistant insects found in the field in different countries, particularly in the developing world, and ways to counter resistance such as gene stalking, refuges, modified toxins and gene discovery of novel toxins with different mode of action.

        Techniques in Molecular Biology and Plant Biotechnology

        by M.R. Shylaja, Deepu Mathew & K.V.Peter

        The book is a compendium on the laboratory experiments in molecular biology, plant tissue culture, genetic engineering and immuno-diagnostics covering a total of 90 experiments. The present day education system focuses on skilling and development of entrepreneurial human resources. Biotechnology has emerged as a promising career option demanding skilled biotechnologists in various sectors like agriculture, horticulture, animal sciences, fisheries science, natural resource management, medicine, pharmaceutical and food processing industries. The step by step procedure on different techniques in plant biotechnology presented in the book will be an authentic knowledge source and a ready reckoner for skill and capability development in biotechnology for students, research scholars, teachers and scientists.

        Fungi Classification and Identification

        by Reeti Singh, Ajay Kumar, Jagdish Kumar Patidar, Pragati Saini, R.K. Pandya , Ashish Bobade & Radha Gupta

        The literature on fungi is huge and expanding rapidly. Many undergraduate students do not have sufficient time to read original publications, and rely solely on the course teacher due to non -availability of illustrated practical book in this field. The book tries to give important and useful information at one place. The main emphasis of this book is to present the fungi in such a simple way which can be understood by students. This book is designed to fulfill the syllabus by covering various aspects of fungi. It provides something for everyone from beginners to advanced students and researchers. There has been a continuous need to add atleast some additional recent text and more illustrations to the book for the subject which will benefit the students.
