The application of biotechnology to food processing has been one of the most important and controversial recent developments in the food industry. With this in mind, Cereal Biotechnology analyzes the practice, potential benefits, and risks of using genetic techniques in cereal processing. This major new text provides both plant molecular biologists and those in the cereal processing industries with a comprehensive overview of the subject.

About the Author
Dr Peter C Morris and Dr James H Bryce are both lecturers in the Department of Biological Sciences at Heriot-Watt University. Dr Morris lectures in Plant Molecular Biology and has comprehensive experience in many aspects of transgenic crop research, both fundamental and applied. A lecturer in Plant Biochemistry, Dr Bryce has worked extensively on the biochemistry of photosynthesis and respiration. Both editors are involved in the foundation and running of a SHEFC-funded transgenic cereal initiative at Heriot-Watt; together with a supporting consortium they are establishing a Scottish centre for cereal genetic manipulation.
