Summary: Jones and Bartlett and the American Society of Plant Biologists have teamed up for the second edition of Plants Biotechnology, Genetics and Agriculture, Second Edition. This book integrates many fields to help students understand the complexity of the basic science that underlies crop and food production. It is truly an interdisciplinary text that brings together aspects of genetics and plant breeding, molecular biology and genetic engineering, plant develo ...show morepment and reproduction, soils and plant nutrition, agro-ecology and the sustainability of agricultural practices, population increases and the difficulty of eradicating hunger, pest control practices and their environmental consequences, the role of biotechnology in modern crop production.
