Recent Developments in Agricultural Biotechnology 

Biotechnology has led to a number of powerful tools in addition to genetic engineering that are useful for changing the genetic composition of plants and animals. This work summarizes the commercial applications of agricultural biotechnology, the state of research, and the economic and environmental impacts of applications to date; identifies the main regulatory consequences; reviews the public reactions; and considers the implications for agriculture and food security in less-developed countries. This book is designed for students interested in careers as laboratory or research technicians in plant biotechnology, breeding, genetics, or physiology. It can also be excellent preparation for graduate study.
