"Plant Transformation Technologies" is a comprehensive, authoritative book focusing on cutting-edge plant biotechnologies, offering in-depth, forward-looking information on methods for controlled and accurate genetic engineering. In response to ever-increasing pressure for precise and efficient integration of transgenes in plants, many new technologies have been developed. With complete coverage of these technologies, "Plant Transformation Technologies" provides valuable insight on current and future plant transformation technologies.

With twenty-five chapters written by international experts on transformation technologies, the book includes new information on "Agrobacterium," targeting transgenes into plant genomes, and new vectors and market systems. Including both review chapters and protocols for transformation, "Plant Transformation Technologies "is vitally important to graduate students, postdoctoral students, and university and industry researchers.

Focused on basics and processes, this textbook teaches plant biology and agriculture applications with summary and discussion questions in each chapter. * Updates each chapter to reflect advances / changes since the first edition, for example: new biotechnology tools and advances, genomics and systems biology, intellectual property issues on DNA and patents, discussion of synthetic biology tools * Features autobiographical essays from eminent scientists, providing insight into plant biotechnology and careers * Has a companion website with color images from the book and PowerPoint slides * Links with author's own website that contains teaching slides and graphics for professors and students: plantsciences.utk.edu/pbg/
