Publisher's Synopsis
This volume promotes the practical application of recombinant DNA technology and aims to contribute to the transformation of the agricultural industry. Contributors discuss basic techniqyes for engineering transgenic plants (such as vectors for gene transfer in higher plants and the cell culture and regeneration of transgenic plants), transgenic plants and basic research (such as transgenic plants for studying genes encoding amino acid biosynthetic enzymes) and transgenic plants and crop improvement.;The book should be of interest to plant molecular biologists, plant biotechnologists, researchers in the agricultural industry, graduate students in these areas, crop scientists, biotechnology companies, the USDA and the Ministry of Agriculture.
