The Gene Revolution
Taylor and Francis 2012; US$ 57.95Whether or not to embrace GM technologies is a fundamental and politically charged question facing humanity in the 21st century, particularly in light of rapidly growing populations and the unknown future impacts of climate change. The Gene Revolution is the first book to bridge the gap between the ?naysayers? and ?cheerleaders? and look at the issues... more...
Biocatalysis and Agricultural Biotechnology
CRC Press 2009; US$ 199.95Presents reviews of biocatalysis and agricultural biotechnology, emphasizing bio-based products and agricultural biotechnology. This work covers the research on improvements of agronomic and microbial traits and bio-based industry products. It is suitable for teachers and industrial scientists who conduct research in biosciences and biotechnology. more...
Genetically Modified Plants
Elsevier Science 2009; US$ 75.95A transgenic organism is a plant, animal, bacterium, or other living organism that has had a foreign gene added to it by means of genetic engineering. Transgenic plants can arise by natural movement of genes between species, by cross-pollination based hybridization between different plant species (which is a common event in flowering plant evolution),... more...
Introgression from Genetically Modified Plants into Wild Relatives
CABI 2004; US$ 155.00Contributes to the GM debate by examining the unintentional spread of new genes from cultivated plants to their wild relatives, and the subsequent impacts on the ecology of wild plants and their associated flora and fauna. more...
Agricultural Biotechnology
CABI 2002; US$ 112.00Presents further material generated by the World Bank/ISNAR/Australian government biotechnology study. The volume covers the present status and future prospects for the application of biotechnology to solve agricultural and environmental problems in 12 countries. more...
Rice Biotechnology
Wiley 2008; US$ 205.00Rice is the most important food crop for half the world's population. Over the last three decades, the imporvement in human nutrition and health in Asia has largely been attributable to a relatively stable and affordable rice supply. The challenge to produce enough rice for the future, however, remains daunting, as the current rate of population growth... more...
Biotechnology in Animal Feeds and Animal Feeding
Wiley 2008; US$ 193.00With the dramatically rising sophistication of biological methods and products and the increasing use of recombinant DNA technology, now is an apt time to review the status of biotechnology in animal feeding. This book gives succinct yet comprehensive coverage of products of biotechnology and allied sciences used in animal feed and feeding industries.... more...
Genetic Modification of Plants
Springer 2009; US$ 299.99Conceived with the aim of sorting fact from fiction over genetically modified (GM) crops, this book brings together the knowledge of 30 specialists in the field of transgenic plants. It covers the generation and detection of these plants as well as the genetic traits conferred on transgenic plants. In addition, the book looks at a wide variety of crops,... more...
Genetic Resources, Chromosome Engineering, and Crop Improvement
CRC Press 2009; US$ 149.95Describes various advances in genetic analysis and biotechnological methods, including molecular enhancements. This book covers plant origin, germ plasm exploration and maintenance, taxonomy, and germ plasm enhancement through chromosome engineering and mutation breeding. more...
Biotechnology and Its Applications in Agricultural Science
GeneTech Books 2006; US$ 50.00The recent development in biotechnology have led to rapid progress in understanding the genetic basis of living organisms, and the ability to develop products and processes useful to human and animal health, food and agriculture, and industry. In agriculture, there is increasing use of biotechnology for genetic mapping and marker-assisted selection... more...
