BIOTECHNOLOGY IN AGRICULTURE SERIES
General Editor: Gabrielle J. Persley, The Doyle Foundation, Glasgow, Scotland.
For a number of years, biotechnology has held out the prospect for major advances in
agricultural production, but only recently have the results of this new revolution started to reach
application in the field. The potential for further rapid developments is, however, immense.
The aim of this book series is to review advances and current knowledge in key areas of
biotechnology as applied to crop and animal production, forestry and food science. Some
titles focus on individual crop species, others on specific goals such as plant protection or
animal health, with yet others addressing particular methodologies such as tissue culture,
transformation or immunoassay. In some cases, relevant molecular and cell biology and
genetics are also covered. Issues of relevance to both industrialized and developing countries
are addressed and social, economic and legal implications are also considered. Most titles are
written for research workers in the biological sciences and agriculture, but some are also
useful as textbooks for senior-level students in these disciplines.
