About The Book

The book "Recent trends in Biotechnology" contains contributions from various research institutes and universities of India. The book includes 14 research and review articles. The first article by K. Koteswara Rao is on Microbial genome sequencing. The next article is on androgenic haploidy in Solanum species by Venkataiah et al. and followed by in vitro propaga-Shankarmurthy et al., have dealt on Plant Regeneration from Root culture of Embelia ribes. Six articles on importance of growth regulators in plant tissue culture in various crop and medicinally important species written by Gayatri and Rama Gopal, Param Geetham et al., Karthik lyer et al., Ramulu et ale, Ugandhar et al. and Aruna et al., Sai Ram et al., have written on Antihyperglycenic activity of leaf callus of Gynznelna sylvestre. Giridhar and S.M. Reddy, Rama Krishna and Narayanaiah gave an account of mycotoxins problems in India and their management and Botanical pesticides respectively. Venkataiah et al., have reviewed the Importance of Biotechnology in improvement of vegetable Solanaceous crops.
