Abstract

This chapter explores the crucial role of biotechnology in conserving plant biodiversity, focusing on key techniques such as tissue culture, genetic engineering, and molecular markers. Tissue culture methods, including micropropagation and cryopreservation, are highlighted for their ability to propagate and preserve endangered plant species. Genetic engineering tools like CRISPR/Cas9 are discussed for their potential in enhancing plant resilience and supporting conservation efforts. The use of molecular markers, such as microsatellites and SNPs, is explored for species identification and genetic diversity assessment. The chapter also delves into the applications of DNA barcoding in plant identification and conservation management. Additionally, it addresses the challenges and ethical considerations associated with biotechnological interventions. The conclusion emphasizes the transformative potential of biotechnology in plant conservation, ecosystem restoration, and sustainable resource management, while acknowledging the need for careful consideration of ecological impacts and ethical implications.
