Summary
Summary
This important reference is the first work on Plant Biotechnology. Written by an international team of experienced researchers and professionals from both academia and industry, it will bring together the principles and practice of contemporary plant biotechnology to include:
* the techniques of plant genetic modification - applications of plant biotechnology, crop improvement in agriculture and a production system for pharmaceutical proteins
* ethics and safety issues - public perception, public relations, scale-up and testing, and legislation within the business of plant biotechnology.
Author Notes
Paul Christou is the author of Handbook of Plant Biotechnology, published by Wiley.

Choice Review
When it comes to genetically modified organisms, biotechnology is a very controversial topic. Some view medical and agricultural breakthroughs as saving the world; others perceive harmful effects and unforeseen consequences. The best way to resolve these differing viewpoints is through the provision of data, so that valid conclusions can be drawn and the safest possible protocols formalized. With 69 chapters, 147 contributors, and extensive appendixes, this book offers all-inclusive coverage of issues such as history, biotechnology basics, techniques, target plants, product development, risk assessment, commercialization, and developing countries' interests. Though the field is rapidly changing, this book should be a valuable reference and useful handbook for the near future. ^BSumming Up: Highly recommended. Library collections supporting upper-level undergraduates and above in agriculture, agronomy, botany, horticulture, plant biotechnology, plant pathology, and soil science. R. P.
