Pull | 视频video | | 概述 | Provides comprehensive information on commercially important, genetically modified crops and their status.Discusses current topics, like RNA interference and genome editing for crop improvement.Examin | 图书封面 |  | 描述 | .Genetic transformation is a key technology, in which genes are transferred from one organism to another in order to improve agronomic traits and ultimately help humans. However, there is apprehension in some quarters that genetically modified crops may disturb the ecosystem. A number of non-governmental organizations continue to protest against GM crops and foods, despite the fact that many organisms are genetically modified naturally in the course of evolution. In this context, there is a need to educate the public about the importance of GM crops in terms of food and nutritional security. .This book provides an overview of various crop plants where genetic transformation has been successfully implemented to improve their agronomically useful traits. It includes information on the gene(s) transferred, the method of gene transfer and the beneficial effects of these gene transfers and agronomic improvements compared to the wild plants. Further, it discusses the commercial prospects of these GM crops as well as the associated challenges. Given its scope, this book is a valuable resource for agricultural and horticultural scientists/experts wanting to explain to the public, politicia | 出版日期 | Book 2021 | 关键词 | Genetic transformation; Transgenes; Genetically modified crops; Transgenic plants; Nutritional improveme | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-15-5897-9 | isbn_softcover | 978-981-15-5899-3 | isbn_ebook | 978-981-15-5897-9 | copyright | Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2021 |
