A comprehensive guide to plant biotechnology December 8, 2003
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book covers everything you need to know about the applications and methodologies of plant biotechnology. A brilliant and comprehensive aid for undergraduates and MSc students covering the subject for the first time and extremely useful even to researchers who need a breadth of vision in their field. It is written in an interesting style with plenty of general and specific references to the literature. Definitely superior to other such books in this field.

The worst thing about this book is that it wasn't published when I was an undergraduate! This book primarily focuses on what biotechnology can do for plants (Bt pest resistance, saline tolerance etc.), this is not surprising as agriculture is the main commercial drive behind such research however some considerations has been given to what plants can do for biotechnology and molecular biology in general.
The diagrams in this book are a little basic however they are effective in conveying the principles described. To conclude I strongly recommend this book to undergraduates, postgraduates and anyone with an interest with the biotechnological applications that are possible within plant systems.
