* Gathers together more than 150 feeding studies with food-producing animals and covers both first and second generation transgenic plants * The first central resource of this information for researchers, students and policy makers * Includes contributions from a wide range of specialists in the field

En dix ans, les plantes transgéniques ont atteint plus de 90 millions d'hectares dans le monde. En revanche, leur développement est bloqué en France et en Europe. Sujet de société, elles sont au coeur de débats polémiques et l'objet de prises de positions politiques. Le but de cet ouvrage est de rassembler dans un même document les informations pour mieux comprendre les objets du débat. Qu'est-ce que la transgénèse, qu'apporte-t-elle ou que peut-elle apporter ? Quels sont les risques évent...

Written in easy to follow language, the book presents cutting-edge agriculturally relevant plant biotechnologies and applications in a manner that is accessible to all. This book updates and introduces the scope and method of plant biotechnologies and molecular breeding within the context of environmental analysis and assessment, a diminishing supply of productive arable land, scarce water resources and climate change. New plant breeding techniques including CRISPR-cas system are now tools...

This open access book is an update of genome editing techniques applied to a range of plants. We discuss the latest techniques and applications to cereals, roots and tubers, oilseed crops, fruit and forest trees, vegetables, legumes and algae including resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses, improved quality, drug production, yield and adaptation to climate change. The regulations in different countries worldwide, the patentibility and the perception by society of the applications of ne...
