Conceived with the aim of sorting fact from fiction over
genetically modified (GM) crops, this book brings together the
knowledge of 30 specialists in the field of transgenic plants. It
covers the generation and detection of these plants as well as the
genetic traits conferred on transgenic plants. In addition, the
book looks at a wide variety of crops, ornamental plants and tree
species that are subject to genetic modifications, assessing the
risks involved in genetic modification as well as the potential
economic benefits of the technology in specific cases. The book s
structure, with fully cross-referenced chapters, gives readers a
quick access to specific topics, whether that is comprehensive data
on particular species of ornamentals, or coverage of the
socioeconomic implications of GM technology. With an increasing
demand for bioenergy, and the necessary higher yields relying on
wider genetic variation, this book supplies all the technical
details required to move forward to a new era in agriculture.
