Although biotechnology has produced many benefits for humanity, its applications have also resulted in some undesirable consequences such as diminished species biodiversity as well as diminished agrobiodiversity, environmental contamination, and the exploitation of intellectual property rights and patents in appropriating the biodiversity of developing countries.This b 606 $aAgricultural biotechnology 606 $aTransgenic plants 606 $aAgrobiodiversity 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAgricultural biotechnology. 615 0$aTransgenic plants. 615 0$aAgrobiodiversity. 676 $a333.95 700 $aDronamraju$b Krishna R$0988513 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453634603321 996 $aEmerging consequences of biotechnology$92260382 997 $aUNINA
