About this book
Oilseed Crops offers essential insights into sustainable biotechnological advancements that are vital for enhancing oil production and meeting the skyrocketing global demand for food, fuel, and energy.
Plants, particularly oilseed crops, have played a crucial role in biotechnology since the early 20th century, providing sustainable resources for food, fodder, and fuel. The book Oilseed Crops delves into using biotechnological methods to enhance both edible and non-edible oils sustainably. It offers an in-depth look at the global oil plant market, growth influencers, adulteration detection, and yield improvement strategies. Highlighting significant advancements in oilseed researchāsuch as plant-microbe interactions, drought-resistance, and molecular biotechnologiesāthe book focuses on increasing oil yields and discusses the production of biofuels from non-edible oilseeds to meet rising biofuel demands.
