      Conventional plant breeding alone can no longer sustain the rising global demand for food. Genetic engineering technology makes it possible to develop new crop varieties with improved yield performance, specific quality attributes (external and internal in vegetable crops), resistance to diseases and insect pests, and environmental stresses. Genetic engineering technology for developing GM crops is complementary to genome editing and other breeding technologies. In addition to food requirements, transgenic crops have the possibility to carry edible vaccines and therapeutic proteins, to help combat human disease and malnutrition. This book reviews the importance and safety of transgenic vegetable crops and covers a wide variety of crops and different technologies. It includes: Genetic engineering in tomato, eggplant, peppers, amaranth, cauliflower, carrot, cucurbits, potato, tropical tubers and melons. Transgenic resistance to viral diseases. Embryogenic cell suspension culture. Genome editing and CRISPR/Cas9. Molecular techniques for biofortification. RNAi strategies for vegetable crop improvement. Designing futuristic vegetable crop varieties. This book is suitable for researchers in horticulture, plant science, and agricultural biotechnology as well as practitioners in vegetable breeding and seed production.

      Nanotechnology in Plant Pathology

      by N.G. Ravichandra

      The book Nanotechnology in Plant Pathology is to provide its readers latest developments and updated comprehensive information on various aspects of nanomaterials, nanomolecules and nanosensors in relation to plant diseases. This book fulfils the need for a comprehensive book on the significance of nanotechnology in plant pathology, which furnishes the latest information on this fast developing topic.The book Nanotechnology in Plant Pathology explicates essential aspects and is conveniently divided into nine unique chapters, covering the latest information and developments in nanotechnology with respect to plant diseases. The chapters include Introduction to nanotechnology, Categories and characterization of nanoparticles, Nanotechnology in plant disease diagnosis, Nanoparticles in plant disease management, Nanotechnology and pesticides, Nanotechnology in pesticides delivery, Regulations and risks in nanotechnology, Nanotoxicity and Nanosafety. Quality diagrams at appropriate places, convincing tables and suitable graphs / illustrations have been furnished for an impressive reading. Under each chapter, a bibliography providing the list of references cited has also been included for additional reading. The contents of this book, reflecting an extensive literature search, will be useful particularly for teachers, researchers and students in Plant Pathology, the State Departments of Horticulture & Agriculture, Commercial protection centers, Administrators, Policy planners and all those who are interested and concerned with the use and application of nanoparticles in plant pathology.

      Crop Improvement,Nursery and Rootstock Management

      by Sachin Tyagi

      Horticulture plays an important part in todays agriculture and there are new avenues that are being achieved by horticulture. The subject has transformed from only being about vegetables, fruits, flowers and postharvest technology and has moved towards disease, breeding, pathology, physiology, greenhouse technologies and other areas which were never heard for. The book series: Hi-Tech Horticulture has been worked out keeping the above mentioned issues in mind with contribution by eminent professors and scientists.

      Pongamia for Bio-Energy and Better Environment

      by M.V.R. Prasad

      Pongamia pinnata is also credited with several preventive and curative properties as established by Ayurvedic medicine. It may be recalled that in the decades of nineteen seventies a few villages reaped sustainable incomes in the face of acute and chronic droughts that plagued the nation, solely due to the availability of some old Pongamia / karanj tree stands around those zones. Kranj oil has exhibited promise as a source of green energy. Nevertheless, the research on improvement of Karanj and its management as a productive plantation is nebulous. It is heartening that the Monograph on Karanj by Dr. M.V.R. Prasad fills this void. Dr. Prasad has been pursuing the work on oil bearing perennial trees of which Pongamaia pinnata has been studied in greater detail during the decades starting from nineteen eighties to date. The Monograph describes clearly as to how Pongamia pinnata could be harnessed to exploit the proven and potential benefits cited above, in addition to giving valuable information on its genetic improvement and plantation management.
