Equally popular as a novelist, she experimented with many genres, and even her children's books were highly regarded by her contemporaries. Charlotte Smith's letters enlarge our understanding of her literary achievement, for they show the private world of spirit, determination, anger, and sorrow in which she wrote.Despite her family's diligence in destroying her papersAuthors, English18th centuryCorrespondenceElectronic books.Authors, English823/.6Smith Charlotte1749-1806.975421Stanton Judith Phillips1946-975422MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910450333103321The collected letters of Charlotte Smith2221151UNINA05152nam 2200661 a 450 991077907400332120230802004640.01-84816-839-X(CKB)2550000000087532(EBL)846127(OCoLC)858227841(SSID)ssj0000611935(PQKBManifestationID)11379552(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000611935(PQKBWorkID)10666874(PQKB)10091741(MiAaPQ)EBC846127(WSP)0000P824(Au-PeEL)EBL846127(CaPaEBR)ebr10529387(CaONFJC)MIL498452(EXLCZ)99255000000008753220120227d2012 uy 0engurcn|||||||||txtccrGenetically modified crops[electronic resource] /Nigel G.

The study of plant genes and genomes and the development of techniques for the incorporation of novel or modified genes into plants eventually led to the commercialisation of genetically modified (GM) crops in the mid-1990's. This was seen as the start of a biotechnological revolution in plant breeding. However, plant biotechnology has become one of the hottest debates of the age and, in Europe at least, one of the greatest challenges that plant scientists have ever faced.Transgenic plantsTransgenic plantsHistoryPlant genetic engineeringAgricultural biotechnologyTransgenic plants.Transgenic plantsHistory.Plant genetic engineering.Agricultural biotechnology.631.5/233631.5233Halford N.
