Klappentext

Comprehensive resource highlighting the potential for transgenic crops to improve global food security, reviewing risks, international regulations, and public perception Transgenic Crops explores the ecological, economic, and societal implications of transgenic crops and delves into the science behind their genetic modifications. Key themes include recent advancements in transgenic crop development as well as challenges faced and strategies for mitigation. The book also highlights innovative methodologies and techniques, international laws and policies, and points of consideration related to biosafety and public perception. Emphasis is placed on the role of transgenic crops in ensuring food and nutritional security, particularly in the face of global challenges such as population growth and climate change. Transgenic Crops includes information on:

• Advantages and disadvantages of plant cell cloning and the role of GMOs in achieving sustainable agricultural practices
• The power of transgenic approaches mitigating abiotic and biotic stress tolerance in plants
• Abiotic stress in plants and associated effects, responses, and adaptive mechanisms in transgenic approaches
• The role of transgenic plants in climate change mitigation and adaptation and the impact of climate change on plant pathogens, diseases, and food security

• Trends, innovations, and challenges driving the future of transgenic crops Transgenic Crops is an essential up-to-date reference on the subject for researchers and scientists looking to apply techniques at field and laboratory level, policymakers and stakeholders working in biosecurity, bioethics, and related disciplines, and students in related programs of study.
