> The world has come to understand only recently the importance of plants in our life. There‐ fore, we have brought together such book chapters that will help strengthen the scientific background of the readers on plants and deliver the message regarding plants for the future, in food security, health, industry, and other areas.

> The book has been divided into seven chapters on plant sciences. Some chapters explain the genetic background of legume-rhizobium symbiosis and RNase genes. In addition, molecu‐ lar farming (MF) of plants has been discussed in one chapter including its applications.

> The biochemical parameters especially in tomato have also been discussed to understand the mode of action using both techniques biochemically and genetically. Metabolic engineering has also been taken into consideration in order to accomplish the plant sciences phenomena.

> This book will add to the scientific knowledge of the readers on the molecular aspects of plants.
