Modern Botany: Techniques, Tools, and Trends

Modern Botany: Techniques, Tools, and Trends is an in-depth exploration of the rapidly expanding field of plant sciences, offering readers a balanced combination of classical knowledge and modern innovations. The book has been conceptualized to serve as both an academic text and a practical guide, making it suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate students, educators, researchers, and professionals who wish to engage with the latest developments in botany.
The content of the book covers a wide spectrum of themes. It begins with essential principles of plant biology, ensuring that readers are grounded in the fundamental aspects of the subject. From there, it progresses into advanced techniques such as molecular genetics, genomics, proteomics, and tissue culture, which have revolutionized the way we study and utilize plants. Alongside these laboratory methods, the book also delves into field-based tools like GIS, remote sensing, and ecological modeling, which have become indispensable in studying plant diversity and addressing environmental challenges.
A key feature of this work is its emphasis on trends that are shaping the future of botany. Topics such as plant biotechnology, climate resilience, conservation strategies, and the role of artificial intelligence in plant research have been incorporated to highlight the evolving scope of the discipline. Each chapter is designed to not only provide technical insights but also to stimulate critical reflection on how botanical knowledge can be applied to solve pressing global issues such as food insecurity, habitat degradation, and climate change.
