Split into three sections, Part 1 introduces GM crops and describes the GM crops that are used commercially. Part 2 looks at new developments and methodologies in areas including potential applications of GM crops for the production of vaccines, enhanced nutritional value of GM food, and engineering resistance to fungal pathogens. Part 3 concludes by considering the key issues of safety and legislation, including allergenicity, environmental impacts, risk assessment and labelling.  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey features:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers the topic in depth and addresses key subject areas\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTakes a broad view of the current situation in different countries\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExamines the commercial application of plant biotechnology in the USA and China\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers two major areas of public concern: allergenicity and gene flow\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers new developments in plant research, safety and legislation aspects\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is essential reading for postgraduates and researchers in plant biotechnology and related sciences in Departments of Plant Science, Biotechnology, Bioscience, Environmental Science, Food Biosciences and Chemistry.
