This book has been prepared with three section i.e., Plant tissue culture, Molecular biology and Plant Biochemistry. The Plant tissue culture and Molecular biology consists of Multiple Choice Question (MCQ), fill in the blanks, important points as instant notes and glossary, whereas only Multiple Choice Question is given for plant biochemistry. This book intends to give more knowledge and clear overview of Plant Tissue Culture, Plant Molecular Biology and Plant Biochemistry. This book is prepared in a simple, crisp manner and highly useful for students, who really interested to prepare competitive exams of ICAR, such as Junior Research Fellow (ICAR-JRF), Senior Research Fellow (ICAR-SRF) and ARS NET. This book has five units i.e. (1) Objectives in Plant Tissue Culture consisting of 570 questions contain both multiple choices and fill in the blanks (2) Objectives in Plant Molecular Biology contain 930 questions which have both multiple choices and fill in the blanks (3) Instant Points in plant Tissue Culture and Molecular Biology contain important points of plant tissue culture and molecular biology (4) Terminologies and definitions used in Plant Tissue Culture and Molecular Biology is given as a Glossary (5) Objectives in Plant Biochemistry contain more than 550 multiple choice questions. This book is prepared with more information about plant biotechnology and biochemistry, so it will be highly useful to the teachers, scientists and students for updating their knowledge.
