Book Synopsis
Throughout history, humankind has pursued means to improve the yield of crop plants through selective plant breeding and hybridization.
Today, genetic manipulation provides a powerful tool for directing plant breeding. But how is genetic manipulation implemented? What benefits
can it offer? And what are the broader issues surrounding the use of this technology? The second edition of Plant Biotechnology: The Genetic
Manipulation of Crop Plants presents a balanced, objective exploration of the technology behind genetic manipulation, and the application of
this technology to the growth and cultivation of plants. The book describes the techniques underpinning genetic manipulation in a clear, lucid
manner, and this influential tool is used in practice.
