"Anyone interested may find in this book essential information related to the production, selection and use of transgenic plants and crops. … Each paper ends with an extended literature list and possible ideas, conclusions and suggestions for future investigations, being of real help for young scientists who want to start … research in the fascinating field of biotechnology and genetic engineering. … This book should be on the desk of each student, each research worker in [the] transgenic plants and crops field, [and] each biology professor." - Cellulose Chemistry and Technology, May-Aug, 2003 Promo Copy
Book Description
With contributions from nearly 130 internationally renowned experts in the field, this reference details advances in transgenic plant construction and explores the social, political, and legal aspects of genetic plant manipulation. It provides analyzes of the history, genetics, physiology, and cultivation of over 30 species of transgenic seeds, fruits, and vegetables. Stressing the impact of genetic engineering strategies on the nutritional and functional benefit of foods as well as on consumer health and the global market economy, the book covers methods of gene marking, transferring, and tagging public perceptions to the selective breeding, hybridization, and recombinant DNA manipulation of food.
