ABOUT THE BOOK: This book has been written to serve the UG and PG level students of Botany in India and abroad. The book covers almost all concerned areas of Genetics, Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, Microbiology, Plant Breeding, Plant Biotechnology, Biometry, and Bioinformatics. It also includes a chapter on instrumentation biology in Appendix. The book is suitable for other allied streams viz. Biochemistry, Cell & Molecular Biology, and Biotechnology as well. Zoology students will also find it handy. The specialty of the book is its concise, lucid but in-depth treatment of each and every topic of the particular subject area. Some of the important aspects have been included in boxes wherever necessary. The book also satisfies the needs of NET, GATE, and UPSC aspirants. Some key information has been provided in the Appendix which will be useful in solving numerical problems.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: The author, Dr. Sanjeev Pandey is an Associate Professor in the Department of Botany, Banwarilal Bhalotia College, Asansol, West Bengal, India. He is a Gold Medalist of his time in M.Sc. from Burdwan University and is a CSIR-NET, GATE, and WB-SLET qualified fellow. He also completed his Ph.D. from the same university in the area of Microbiology. Dr. Pandey joined this college in the year 2001 and since then he has been teaching various branches of Botany diligently. Dr. Pandey also holds a second Master's degree from Sikkim Manipal University in the subject of Ecology and Environment which he obtained in the year 2004. A teacher cum researcher, Dr. Pandey has published 20 research articles in the journals of National and International repute and there are many to be followed. His first book “Advanced Botany, Volume 1” has already gained recognition among the students and teachers of the subject. This is going to be his second book in the series. At present, he is also pursuing a major research project sponsored by the West Bengal Department of Science and Technology and Biotechnology (DSTBT, GoWB) with three research scholars working for their Ph.D. degrees under his supervision.
