Welcome to the Handbook of Plant Biotechnology Online
The Handbook of Plant Biotechnology online offers timely
and authoritative information by presenting the polemic field of
plant biotechnology in an appropriate science-based perspective. As
the field of plant biotechnology reaches a historically critical
point in time, opinion based in scientific fact is critical for
society. Is the practice dangerous or does it have the potential to
be the next Green Revolution?
From point of discovery science through to intellectual property
issues, risk assessment and commercialisation, the Handbook
provides you with expert information to help you formulate your own
opinions.
