Publication Date: November 30, 1990 | ISBN-10: 0216929148 | ISBN-13: 978-0216929142 | Edition: 1

This volume describes the methods currently available for the production of transgenic plants and the application of this knowledge to the generation of corps that express foreign genes conferring resistance to herbicides, insects and viruses. Consideration is also given to the temporal and spatial regulation of gene expression during plant development. Methods for the isolation and identification of important plant genes are discussed.

Editorial Reviews

Review

`This recent addition to the ever-increasing library of publishers' plant biotechnology series aims to review the basic science underpinning plant biotechnology and to show how this knowledge is being used in directed plant breeding...Numerous references enable the reader to get further information...Altogether the book provides a good summary of the different aspects of the fast developing field of plant genetic engineering.'
