| Abstract
|
:
|
Transgenic Crops of the World is a state-of-the-art, compilation of the most up-to-date methods available for the genetic manipulation of the major crops of our world. These methods have been developed from research groups which have contributed significantly to the genetic improvement of their respective crops. A special 'Note' section is included to aid researchers to generate transgenic plants from 'new' or untested germplasms. This book is an essential guide for plant science courses at undergraduate and postgraduate levels and also for industrial biotechnology companies.
