Modern biotechnology offers efficient and cost-effective means to produce a diverse array of novel, value-added products and tools. The applications of biotechnology to increase crop yield, improve crop quality and reduce production costs have been considerable. To date, crop biotechnology has mostly benefited farmers and consumers in a growing number of countries, some to greater extents than others. The objective of this book is to provide an update and authentic information of the impact of biotechnology on crop improvement. It shows how agriculture is changing throughout the world and discusses the roles that genes and genetic engineering are playing in these changes. Students, researchers and teachers besides biotechnologists, crop scientists, and economists will find this work a highly informative reference tool.
