‎‎‎‎‎‎‎genetically Modified Crops

This timely volume explores the world of one of the most controversial scientific advances in modern history, the design and production of genetically engineered plants. Readers will examine the ways in which humans interact with and manipulate the natural environment, from the earliest origins of agriculture to the discovery of the universal genetic code to the possibilities of ending world hunger. Throughout the text, readers will find in-depth explanations of complex theories of heredity and of modern genetic engineering technology, while being invited to consider the ethical questions that underlie this great discovery.

The debate over genetically modified organisms: health and safety concerns, environmental impact, and scientific opinions.

This volume is dedicated to the transgenic crops genetic emerging technology, agronomic, medicinal traits and biosafety assessment of the introduced traits.

Since their commercial introduction in 1996, genetically modified (GM) crops have been adopted by farmers around the world at impressive rates.
