Description: Description Plant Biotechnology presents a balanced, objective exploration of the technology behind genetic manipulation, and its application to the growth and cultivation of plants. The book describes the techniques underpinning genetic manipulation and makes extensive use of case studies to illustrate how this influential tool is used in practice. 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, giving students a wider view of the subject, and facilitating learning and revision Guides the student from the fundamentals of the subject through to predicted developments of the future, providing a complete learning vehicle from concepts and methodology to the latest thinking Major focus on current issues affecting society and predicted future GM developments encourages students to engage with the broader issues surrounding genetic manipulation Online Resource Centre provides a range of accompanying materials for instructors and students, enriching the learning experience by providing access to the most recent developments in the field of plant biotechnology |
