Agricultural Biotechnology, Biodiversity and Bioresources Conservation and Utilization: Multidisciplinary Applications and Advances in Biotechnology

Editat de Olawole O. Obembe, Emmanuel Olufemi Ekundayo, Arinze Stanley Okoli, Abubakar Gidado, Charles Oluwaseun Adetunji, Abdulrazak B. Ibrahim, Benjamin Ewa Ubi
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 mai 2022
This book covers a range of important topics on crop and animal genetics, breeding and genomics, as well as biodiversity and genetic resources conservation and utilization reflecting three thematic sections of working groups of the Biotechnology Society of Nigeria. The topics range from agricultural biotechnology, including genetically modified organisms and gene-editing for agronomically important traits in tropical crops, to Nigeria’s mega biodiversity and genetic resources conservation. This book will engender a deeper understanding of underpinning mechanisms, technologies, processes and science–policy nexus that has placed Nigeria as a leader in biotechnology in Africa. The book will be useful reference material for scientists and researchers working in the fields of food and agricultural biotechnology, bioinformatics, plant and animal genetics, breeding and genomics, genetic resources conservation and enhancement.
  • Emphasizes recent advances in biotechnologies that could ameliorate the high-level global food and nutrition insecurity through plant and animal genetics, breeding, as well as genomics
  • Provides detailed information towards harnessing indigenous bioresources for food and nutrition security and climate change adaptation
  • Introduces new frontiers in the area of genomics, most especially their relevant applications in crop and animal breeding
  • Reviews biotechniques that could enhance plant genetic resources conservation and utilization
  • Discusses current biotechnological approaches to exploit genetic resources including the development of synthetic hexaploid wheat (SHW) for crop adaptation to the increasingly changing global climate
