Compendium of Transgenic Crop Plants, 10 Volume Set

The Set offers a comprehensive review of the commercially relevant transgenic plants developed and presently utilized. Volumes 1-9 cover around 100 plant species, from crops to forest trees. Volume 10 is the master index volume. <p>Each chapter covers one particular species (or sometimes group of closely related species) and the transgenic versions developed for that particular species.</p> <p>Key features:</p> <p>• Offers a complete description of the successfully developed transgenic plants for around 100 commercially relevant crops from fruits and vegetables to grains, industrial crops and forest tree species</p> <p>• Covers the transgenic techniques used in the molecular tailoring of traits relevant from an agricultural, medicinal and environmental point of view</p> <p>• Explores future developments, from desired traits to expected new technologies</p> <p>• Examines risks and concerns around the use of GM crops</p> <p>• Discusses public perception, industrial perspectives and political and economic consequences</p> <p>• Contributions from over 300 leading scientists from around the world</p> <p>Provides a valuable and inclusive reference for students, researchers, scientists and industry professionals, studying and working on transgenic plants.</p>
