Ornamental Plants: Molecular Biology and Biotechnology

Beschreibung

Ornamental plants are cultivated primarily for their aesthetic qualities, enhancing gardens, landscapes, and indoor spaces. These plants are valued for their flowers, foliage, or overall appearance, often chosen for decorative purposes rather than practical use. They contribute to beautifying environments and are cultivated worldwide for their visual appeal. By the application of advanced genetic and biotechnological techniques, the beauty, resilience, and characteristics of ornamental plants can be enhanced. This interdisciplinary field integrates molecular biology, genetics, and plant breeding to develop novel varieties with improved traits such as color, fragrance, disease resistance, and longer vase life. Techniques like genetic engineering, marker-assisted selection, and tissue culture play pivotal roles in accelerating the breeding process and expanding the range of ornamental species available in horticulture. This book is a valuable compilation of topics, ranging from the basic to the most complex advancements in the field of ornamental plants. The objective of this book is to give a general view of the different areas of molecular biology and biotechnology, and its applications in ornamental plants. Scientists and students actively engaged in this field will find this book full of crucial and unexplored concepts.
