This book arises from a Royal Society discussion meeting and describes the ways in which the plant genomes have been modified to confer resistance to pathogens, pests, and herbicides; to modify developmental and physiological processes and to create plants with previously unthought of uses.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
The book is handsomely produced...Here we have a collection of articles which are written in an approachable style, which individually provide clear summaries of their sub-topics, and which taken as a whole provide a wide-ranging survey of plant genetic engineering as of 1993...the reviewer has found that chapters from this volume have been well received by second- and thrid-year undergraduates as topics for essays and tutorial discussions. Possibly first year postgraduates would also find this book a useful survey of this rapidly widening area of research...one that can be warmly recommended to University, College and Departmental libraries. - Heredity; ... a very good summary of this important area of plant science. - Geological Magazine; This is a most readible collectin of papers, still very much relevant to developments in crop bioengineering... Plant Growth Regulation.
