Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This book about transgenic approaches in plant biotechnology was a great help for the preparation of my plant biochemistry final exam. It was really useful as a compilation of the recent status of semi- and fully transgenic applications in plants which combines the necessary basics with the outcomes and perspectives. A compact treatise like this one is not easy to find. The book would be very suitable both for applied plant sciences classes and those in bio-medical ethics. - I certainly have to recommend this title to students for the preparation of examinations in the mentioned level of advanced graduate studies.
The authors' statement in the preface is "in this book, we shall put man in the forefront." After a brief discussion about plant molecular genetics and a short introduction to immunology, the text directs towards a detailed discussion about how antibodies, vaccines, and other therapeutic compounds for human diseases can be manufactured by transgenic plants. Afterwards, the focus lies on risk management, safety in applications, and public acceptance issues. The book gives an important direction regarding applied plant genetics, updated in 2001.
