Fundamentals of Plant Biochemistry and Biotechnology PDF Book Free Download

Fundamentals of Plant Biochemistry and Biotechnology provides a comprehensive introduction to the biochemical processes and biotechnological applications central to modern plant science. Designed for students, researchers, and professionals in agriculture, biotechnology, and life sciences, the book bridges classical plant biochemistry with contemporary tools of molecular biology and genetic engineering.

The text explores the structure and function of biomolecules — carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and secondary metabolites — and explains their roles in plant metabolism, growth, and development. Core pathways such as photosynthesis, respiration, nitrogen fixation, and hormonal regulation are presented with clarity, supported by illustrations, flowcharts, and reaction mechanisms.

In its biotechnology section, the book highlights tissue culture techniques, plant transformation, marker-assisted breeding, recombinant DNA technology, transgenic crops, and the use of molecular markers. Emerging themes such as genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, bioinformatics, and applications of CRISPR/Cas systems are also addressed.

By combining fundamental theory with applied aspects, this book equips readers to understand plant metabolic networks and harness biotechnological innovations for crop improvement, food security, and sustainable agriculture.
