ABSTRACT

Nanobiotechnological approaches can make a huge advancement in crop improvement through molecular-marker-assisted breeding. It is a cost-effective, rapid, and accurate platform for identification of genetic polymorphism with high throughput and automated detection. Thus, nanogenomics is facilitating plant breeders to attain their target of precision breeding as well as providing a new prospect for selection and gene transfer. In this chapter, emphasized nanobiotechnological advances and their application in plant breeding and focused on single nucleotide polymorphism detection.
