Beschreibung:
Plant molecular biology came to the fore in the early 1980s and there has been tremendous growth in the subject since then. The study of plant genes and genomes and the development of techniques for the incorporation of novel or modified genes into plants eventually lead to the commercialisation of genetically modified (GM) crops in the mid-1990s. This was seen as the start of a biotechnological revolution in plant breeding. However, plant biotechnology has become one of the hottest debates of the age and, in Europe at least, one of the greatest challenges that plant scientists have ever faced.
DNA, Genes, Genomes and Plant Breeding; The Techniques of Plant Genetic Modification; Current and Future Uses of GM Crops in Agriculture; Legislation Covering GM Crops and Foods; Issues that have Arisen in the GM Crop and Food Debate.
