The field of plant genetic engineering has arisen from the
laboratory and into the market place as a technology to provide
farmers and consumers with improved crops. 1996 marks a turning
point as the first genetically engineered crops to control
agronomically important pests are registered for commercial sale.
In most cases it has taken over a decade to develop commercially
viable products. This book serves both as an update of current
technologies that have been proven successful for engineering
insect tolerant crops and an overview of new technologies that are
being pursued for the development of new genetically engineered
crops in the future. The book includes an introductory chapter on
the world wide importance of insect problems in crops and the
advantages of genetically engineered crops over traditional
breeding; reviews insect control principles that are being
develpoed for genetically engineered crops; and provides an
overview of many new areas that wil lead to new insect control
agents in the next decade.
