tailieunhanh - TRANSGENIC PLANTS

Plants that have features and characteristics of other species, other genera, other families and even other kingdoms - such as bacteria and mammals - have fascinated man since the dawn of history. Such phenomena, recorded in several mythologies, were in the realm of miracles and the work of God. Now they seem to become realities, though not exactly as described in the ancient folklore. | this timely and important book presents the essence of transgenic plant production. This activity is being pursued by many investigators and interesting results are rapidly accumulating. The basic methodologies have been developed and the transformation of additional plant species is more an engineering Vbiotechnology problem than a matter of developing new scientific concepts. This book reviews the available methodologies and devotes chapters to transgenic plants that were produced for crop improvement and for yielding valuable products. Also information is provided on the ability to regulate the expression of alien genes in specific organs and in response to defined effectors and environmental conditions. Finally transgenic plants may have commercial value therefore the issues of intellectual property and other aspects of commercialisation are handled in a special appendix. In addition to providing a comprehensive overview of transgenic plant production for investigators engaged in a specific niche of this endeavour this book will be of interest to all students of plant biology and to those who consider producing transgenic plants in the future. Plant breeders and commercial companies engaged in seed production will definitely benefit from this book. Imperial College Press P051 he ISBN 1-86094-062-5 X transgenic plants rRANSốENIC PLANTS.
