| Review: | This book addresses fundamental questions about the nature and safety of GM crops, their regulation, and the implications for plant breeding, agriculture and the environment. The history and development of plant biotechnology are described in chapters on genes, plant breeding, and techniques of plant modification. The uses of GM crops and their legislation are discussed, together with a range of other issues such as the Monarch butterfly, food allergens, and ethical aspects that have been publicly debated. The book will be of interest to the general public and scientists alike. |
