Description
The second edition of Plant Biotechnology: the genetic manipulation of plants presents a balanced, objective exploration of the technology behind genetic manipulation, and the application of this technology to the growth and cultivation of plants. The book describes the techniques underpinning genetic manipulation in a clear, lucid manner, and makes extensive use of case studies to illustrate how this influential tool is used in practice. Throughout history, humankind has pursued means to improve the yield of crop plants through selective plantbreeding and hybridization. Today, genetic manipulation provides a powerful tool for directing plant breeding. But how is genetic manipulation implemented? What benefits can it offer? And what are the broader issues surrounding the use of this technology?Key themes and strategies are developed using appropriate case studies, which place the science behind plant biotechnology in its broader agricultural context. Key Features Successfully places the science in context by addressing the broader issues surrounding the GM crop debate, ensuring a balanced overview of the subject area is presented Case studies and keynote boxes establish the agricultural and commercial background to this technology Re-focused chapter 12 'Science and society: the public acceptance of GM crops' updates the information surrounding commercial planting, regulation and public acceptance, plus aspects of genomic technology such as TILLING Accompanied by Online Resource Centre
