The three major areas of bio-technology, which can help in crop improvement in general and floriculture in particular are micro-propagation systems, including tissue culture, genetic engineering and new methods of in-vitro hybridization and re-combinant DNA technique.
Floriculture, Ornamental and Plant Biotechnology: Advances and Topical Issues is a network of review articles, research and original papers, and a compendium of opinions and techniques that deals with the most important issues in the forefront of Floriculture and Ornamental Biology, Plant Science and Biotechnology.
Plant biotechnologies that assist in developing new varieties and traits include genetics and genomics, marker-assisted selection (MAS), and transgenic (genetic engineered) crops.
