Résumé :

The Handbook of Plant Biotechnology offers timely and authoritative information by presenting the polemic field of plant biotechnology in an appropriate science-based perspective. As the field of plant biotechnology reaches a historically critical point in time, opinion based in scientific fact is critical for society. Is the practice dangerous or does it have the potential to be the next Green Revolution? From point of discovery science through to intellectual property issues, risk assessment and commercialisation, the Handbook provides you with expert information to help you formulate your own opinions. The Handbook provides extensive coverage of the field including: articles on plant genetic modification, applications of plant biotechnology to crop improvement in agriculture, production systems for pharmaceutical proteins, ethics and safety issues, public perception and public relations, scale-up, and testing and legislation. Comprising 71 articles from more than 100 contributors, the Handbook of Plant Biotechnology is an invaluable resource for researchers, scientists, graduate students, and postdoctoral workers active in the fields of botany, agriculture, horticulture, and food science.
