Description for Transgenic Crops of the World
Hardback. A compilation of the methods available for the genetic manipulation of the major crops of our world. This book includes a special 'Note' section to aid researchers to generate transgenic plants from 'new' or untested germplasms. It is suitable for plant science courses at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Num Pages: 454 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PD; TV; WNW. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 235 x 155 x 25. Weight in Grams: 829.
Since the first transgenic plants were produced back in the early 1980s, there have been substantial developments towards the genetic engineering of most crops of our world. Initial studies using isolated plant cells and removing their cell walls to form protoplasts, offered the possibility of transferring genetic material by Agrobacterium-mediated gene transfer, chemical agents or electrical charges. However, in those cases were isolated protoplasts could be transformed, often, a shoot regeneration system was not available to induce the production of transgenic plants and any such regenerated plants were subject to mutation or chromosomal of cultured plant organs, such as leaf ...
