Abstract/Description: | Andaman and Nicobar Islands are known to harbor large diversity of plant and seaweed species, a number of them being endemic. Micropropagation could be used as an effective tool for large scale multiplication of economically important plants and seaweeds. The technique could also help in multiplying threatened species to conserve them. In vitro production of pharmaceutical macromolecules could be a viable option for avoiding de-structive harvesting of plant species. Somaclonal variation, in vitro mutagenesis and trans-genic could be useful in some cases. Molecular markers could help in assessment of genetic diversity, DNA barcoding, marker assisted selection etc. The article highlights the im-portance and relevance of various biotechnological tools in the management of biodiversity of the fragile ecosystem of Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Various research activities un-dertaken to conserve species of these islands are also highlighted. |
