Ebook: Transgenic Crops II

There has been tremendous progress in the genetic transformation of agricultural crops, and plants resistant to insects, herbicides, and diseases have been produced, field tested and patented. Transgenic Crops II compiles this information on the following fruits and vegetables: kiwi fruit, amaranth, horseradish, asparagus, beetroot, broccoli, cabbage, rape, kale, turnip, rutabaga, chicory, watermelon, cucumber, carrot, strawberry, sweet potato, luffa, tomato, cassava, banana, common bean, sweet pea, potato, and grapes.
This book is of special interest to advanced students, teachers, and research workers in the field of plant breeding, genetics, molecular biology, plant tissue culture, and plant biotechnology in general.
