Product Description

Plant Chromosome Biology by Archarna Sharma offers an authoritative and in-depth exploration of the advances in chromosomal research in plants, making it a vital resource for students, researchers, and professionals in the fields of genetics, botany, molecular biology, and biodiversity studies.

This first edition paperback, published by Taylor and Francis Books India Private Limited, presents a detailed examination of the structural and functional aspects of plant chromosomes, highlighting the remarkable progress made over the last two decades. With developments in microscopy and molecular techniques, chromosome structure can now be analyzed at a near-molecular level—enabling the identification of gene sequences and enhancing the understanding of genetic variation and biodiversity.

The book discusses key areas such as:

• Chromosome structure and organization

• Techniques in chromosomal mapping and identification

• Genomic evolution in plants

• Applications in biodiversity analysis and conservation

Designed for both academic study and applied research, this volume serves as a comprehensive guide to modern plant cytogenetics. It is especially valuable for those working in plant breeding, evolutionary biology, environmental science, and conservation genetics, offering a blend of foundational knowledge and cutting-edge research.

Whether you are a postgraduate student, a botanical researcher, or a laboratory scientist, Plant Chromosome Biology delivers critical insights into the chromosomal dynamics that underpin plant life and its diversity.
