As the oldest and largest human intervention in nature, the science of agriculture is one of the most intensely studied practices. From manipulation of plant gene structure to the use of plants for bioenergy, biotechnology interventions in plant and agricultural science have been rapidly developing over the past ten years with immense forward leaps on an annual basis. This book begins by laying the foundations for plant
biotechnology by outlining the biological aspects including gene
structure and expression, and the basic procedures in plant
biotechnology of genomics, metabolomics, transcriptomics and
proteomics. It then focuses on a discussion of the impacts of
biotechnology on plant breeding technologies and germplasm
sustainability. The role of biotechnology in the improvement of
agricultural traits, production of industrial products and
pharmaceuticals as well as biomaterials and biomass provide a
historical perspective and a look to the future. Sections
addressing intellectual property rights and sociological and food
safety issues round out the holistic discussion of this important
topic.
