Description of Genetic Modification of Plants Volume 64: Biotechnology in Agriculture and Forestry (PDF)

Genetic Modification of Plants Volume 64 by Frank Kempken & Christian Jung is a great Biotechnology book available in (eBook) PDF download. Today modern agriculture is facing new challenges. Total yields have to be increased due to the continuing population growth of mankind and due to changing food consumption. However, the global climate creates new problems but also new opportunities for agriculture.

For more than a decade the yearly yield increases of major food staples have been on the decline, which is due to optimized production systems like the application of mineral fertilizer and crop protection measures. But also the yield increases due to genetic improvement of crops have been stagnating. Obviously, we are approaching yield barriers for a number of crops, which creates a need for innovation in breeding systems.
