Plant biotechnology covers a vast area of methodologies and technologies, ranging from specific tools to improve conventional plant breeding and production, to advanced and powerful tools that breaks with existing norms and principles. The potentials and limitations pf plant biotechnology in relation to plant breeding and production are therefore a complex area, and some preliminary information on long term environmental, social, economic and even ethical effects has caused serious concern among governments and non-governmental stakeholders. This is authentic work on plant biotechnology bring together the principles and practice of contemporary plant biotechnology. It includes the techniques of plant genetic modification –applications of plant biotechnology, crop improvement in agriculture and a production system for pharmaceutical proteins. It also describes ethics, safety issues and legislation within the business of plant biotechnology. It will be an essential reading for students, researchers and professionals in plant biotechnology and related sciences.
