Synopsis "transgenic crops i"
Recently, there has been tremendous progress in the genetic transformation of agricultural crops, and plants resistant to insects, herbicides, and diseases have been produced, field tested and patented. "Transgenic Crops I" compiles this information on cereals, grasses, legumes, and oilseed crops. It is divided into two sections: I. Cereals and Grasses: wheat, rice, maize, barley, sorghum, pearl millet, triticale, "Agrostis" spp., "Cenchrus" "ciliaris," "Dactylis glomerata," "Festuca" "arundinacea," "Lolium" spp., and sugarcane. II. Legumes and Oilseed Crops: "Arachis hypogaea," "Brassica juncea," "Brassica" " napus," " Cicer arietinum," " Glycine" "max," " Gossypium" "hirsutum," " Helianthus annuus," "Lens culinaris," "Linum usitatissimum," "Sinapis alba," "Trifolium," and "Vicia" "narbonensis." This book is of special interest to advanced students, teachers, and research workers in the field of plant breeding, genetics, molecular biology, plant tissue culture, and plant biotechnology in general.
