Encyclopedia of Applied Plant Sciences

Formats: Reference work
Full Text: All
Years: Current
Vendor: Elsevier
Number of Users: Unlimited
Description: The reader will learn about the use of transgenic plants with altered metabolism that enhances accumulation of proteins and carbohydrates, alkaloids and terpenoids, and other components. Other chapters report the state of the science and recent breakthroughs in genetics and biochemistry of photosynthesis, plant growth and development, and plant nutrition. There is also a much needed update on the many experimental approaches to develop transgenic plants with novel characteristics, including enhanced resistance to pests and pathogens; biofortification and enhanced food safety; altering seed biology; reducing ripening times and post-harvest losses; bioremediation, and so on. The advances that have been made in the field are truly remarkable and are a testament to the many opportunities that modern genetics and biotechnology have brought to plant sciences.
