It delves into the core principles of plant genome organization, gene expression, and the methods used to modify plant DNA, including tissue culture and transformation techniques. The book also examines specific applications of genetic manipulation, such as herbicide resistance, pest resistance, and stress tolerance engineering, and discusses the broader implications of genetically modified (GM) crops in agriculture and society.
