Commercial developments with transgenic potatoGenetic modification is one of the most important and controversial issues facing the food industry. With its international team of contributors, Fruit and vegetable biotechnology analyses its major impact on fruit and vegetable cultivation and processing.The book begins with an analysis of the methods available to the biotechnologist. Part one then considers the range of traits that have been the subject of modification. Chapter 3 discusses the modification of such agronomic traits as fruit quality and resistance to various kinds of environmental stress, as well as the use of moleculaWoodhead Publishing Series in Food Science, Technology and NutritionWoodhead Publishing Series in Food Science, Technology and NutritionFRUIT & VEGETABLE BIOTECHNOLOGYAgricultural biotechnologyFruit -- GeneticsGenetically modified foodsVegetables -- GeneticsGenetically modified foodsGeneticsAgricultural biotechnologyGeneticsFruitVegetablesHealth & Biological SciencesHILCCBiomedical EngineeringHILCCAgricultural biotechnology.Fruit -- Genetics.Genetically modified foods.Vegetables -- Genetics.Genetically modified foodsGenetics.Agricultural biotechnologyGenetics.Fruit.Vegetables.Health & Biological SciencesBiomedical Engineering664.8Valpuesta V1824153Valpuesta VictorianoAU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9911004861103321Fruit and Vegetable Biotechnology4391220UNINA
