Students of many disciplines and the general public are interested in examining the development and adoption of innovative biotechnologies applied in agriculture in the world?s largest economies and in developing countries, which are themselves changing rapidly to address these concerns. We are now approaching two decades of experience of deployment of transgenic crops in agroecosystems, and we are still very much in the early stages of technological development, deployment and adoption of resulting plants (cereals, vegetables and trees). What are these biotechnologies today that can enhance agricultural productivity and produce medicines, how are they currently deployed, what are some near-term realistic expectations, if these biotechnologies are to be a part of sustainable agriculture? 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aPlant breeding 606 $aPlant diseases 606 $aEntomology 606 $aEcology 606 $aAgriculture$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L11006 606 $aPlant Breeding/Biotechnology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L24060 606 $aPlant Pathology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L24035 606 $aEntomology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L25090 606 $aEnvironment, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U00009 615 0$aAgriculture. 615 0$aPlant breeding. 615 0$aPlant diseases. 615 0$aEntomology. 615 0$aEcology. 615 14$aAgriculture. 615 24$aPlant Breeding/Biotechnology. 615 24$aPlant Pathology. 615 24$aEntomology. 615 24$aEnvironment, general. 676 $a333.7 676 $a570 676 $a571.92 676 $a595.7 702 $aRicroch$b A$g(Agne?s),$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aChopra$b Surinder$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aFleischer$b Shelby J$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298346003321 996 $aPlant biotechnology$9365360 997 $aUNINA
