Biotechnology is the application of scientific techniques to modify and improve plants animals and microorganisms to enhance their value. Agricultural biotechnology is the area of biotechnology involving applications to agriculture. Agricultural biotechnology has been practised for a long time as people have sought to improve agriculturally important organisms by selection and breeding. Modern biotechnology has great potential to influence and benefit agriculture forestry and fisheries. New techniques of biotechnology offer the potential of moving any cloned gene from any organism into any other organism and confer much greater precision and speed in achieving results as compared to conventional techniques. This book is a comprehensive reference work on agricultural biotechnology. It brings together the principles and practice of contemporary agricultural biotechnology. Topics such as history and scope of agricultural biotechnology plant tissue culture techniques of genetic modification crop improvement production of transgenic crops etc. are described in detail. This book will be highly informative to all those concerned. 273 pp.

Bibliography. Index. In a world of rapid technological development people are constantly falling behind and becoming technological illiterates. Technology companies are constantly struggling to find effective ways to help customers or potential customers understand the advantages or the operation of their new products. Technical writing is a specialised structured way of writing where information is presented in a format and manner that best suits the cognitive and psychological needs of the readers so they can respond to a document as its author intended and achieve the purpose related to that document. Thus it is writing formatted and shaped to make reading as simple poignant unequivocal and enjoyable as possible. It so happens that most technical writing positions are still primarily offered to those who can write effective end user manuals system design documents web sites and the like for engineering and IT firms. This book aims to teach students the skill of technical writing. It is unique in that it gets to the point uses practical outlines throughout and actually shows students how to produce the most common technical documents step by step. It employs a laid back approach that is focused on providing real world information in a straightforward and easy to understand manner. 278 pp.

Environmentally responsible use of biotechnology. 9. Cartagena protocol on biosafety to the convention on biological diversity. Bibliography. Index. The recent advances in the field of biotechnology have brought into focus several ethical and safety issues. The inventions in the field of genetic engineering and related fields of molecular biology will affect not only ourselves but the plants microorganisms animals and the entire environment and the way we practise agriculture medicine and food processing. An increase in our ability to change life forms in recent years has given rise to the new science of bioethics. While anti biotechnology activists are over rating the risks of biotechnology it is time for the scientists to make a scientific and objective analysis of the social issues involved and make it known to the public who will otherwise be carried away by the emotional rhetoric by the less informed but highly vocal section of the society. The present book discusses the biosafety and bioethical issues the modern society confronts. Topics such as biotech development impact of biotechnology on biosafety biotech products and ethical issues governance of biosafety environmentally responsible use of biotechnology etc. are describe in detail. This book is destined to become an essential reading for students teachers and professionals in all fields of life sciences. 272 pp.

A biosensor is a device for the detection of an analyte that combines a biological component with a physiochemical detector component. A typical biosensor consists of three parts a sensitive biological element a transducer in between and a detector element. The most widespread example of a commercial biosensor is the blood glucose biosensor which uses an enzyme to break blood glucose down. In so doing it transfers and electron to an electrode and this is converted into a measures of blood glucose concentration. The high market demand for such sensors has fuelled development of associated sensor technologies. This book covers recent developments that combine the fields of biotechnology and electrical engineering with applications in the detection of very low levels of chemicals and biological agents in the body. It provides an authentic overview of wide range of biosensing systems discussing the elements of different transducers used in sensors and the selective elements that are employed. The style is relatively non mathematical and informal in approach. The contents of the book will be ideal for graduate and postgraduate students of biotechnology analytical and physical chemistry. It will also be invaluable to all those concerned with the environmental and biomedical applications of such biosensing systems. 308 pp.
