Abstract

Not AvailableClimate change is continuously aiding new vulnerable challenges to agriculture sector. Severe changes in temperature, rainfall, drought, soil salinity level are some of its examples. Since climate change affects the available natural resources like water, soil and existing biodiversity patterns, the requirement of assured food supply in future depends on the use of modern agricultural technologies. Biotechnological being an interdisciplinary science had the potential to develop interventions which can mitigate these climate changes in economical and sustainable manner. Various sub-disciplines of biotechnology like molecular breeding, plant tissue culture, recombinant DNA technology and genomics have contributed immensely in crop improvement programmes. Here in this chapter it is tried to discuss about the concept, application and examples of all these subdiscipline of biotechnology including advance genome editing techniques with respect to climate change have been enlisted.Not Availabl
