Description
Crop Biotechnology: Genetic Modification and Genome Editing by Nigel G Halford provides a concise and comprehensive history of the science and techniques underlying crop biotechnology. From its early beginnings in plant molecular biology to the development of genome editing, this title offers a detailed account of the key innovations that have shaped the field. The book explores the commercialisation of genetically modified (GM) crops in the mid-1990s, as well as the subsequent debates and controversies surrounding plant biotechnology. Recent advances in genome editing techniques are also covered, along with expanded sections on current GM crops and future developments in plant biotechnology. This updated edition includes new material on genome editing and provides a thorough overview of the latest techniques, legislation, and discussions surrounding GM crops.
