Split into three sections, Part 1 introduces GM crops and describes the GM crops that are used commercially. Part 2 looks at new developments and methodologies in areas including potential applications of GM crops for the production of vaccines, enhanced nutritional value of GM food, and engineering resistance to fungal pathogens. Part 3 concludes by considering the key issues of safety and legislation, including allergenicity, environmental impact 606 $aPlant biotechnology 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aPlant culture 610 $aAgricultural science/research - general 610 $aPlant breeding 615 0$aPlant biotechnology. 676 $a631.5233 701 $aHalford$b N.
