The Production and Uses of Genetically Transformed Plants

This book provides a concise overview of the ways in which the plant genome has been modified. Top plant biotechnologists have been brought together to discuss what methods can be used in the laboratory, what results are being obtained, the expectations for the future, and potential industrial uses.

This book arises from a Royal Society discussion meeting and describes the ways in which the plant genomes have been modified to confer resistance to pathogens, pests, and herbicides; to modify developmental and physiological processes and to create plants with previously unthought of uses.
