The ability to genetically engineer plants is largely thanks to a microscopic helper: a bacterium called Agrobacterium ...

In this issue, we explore the topic of plant biotechnology. With a rapidly growing population, policymakers and scientists are asking: How will humans produce enough food to feed our growing numbers?

Food productivity is dependent on the availability of fertilizer, says Utah State University biochemist Lance Seefeldt. "We ...

For much of the 1980s and 1990s, the challenge to researchers in plant biotechnology was the isolation of potentially useful genes and the development of methods of transforming and then ...

In agricultural biotechnology, changes are made directly to the plant's genome. Once the gene that determines a desirable trait is identified, it can be selected, extracted, and transferred ...

This comprehensive book covers the underlying scientific principles, state of the art technologies and methodologies of plant mutagenesis. It covers historical development and commonly used ...
