Key features:
• Offers a complete description of the successfully developed transgenic plants for around 100 commercially relevant crops from fruits and vegetables to grains, industrial crops and forest tree species
• Covers the transgenic techniques used in the molecular tailoring of traits relevant from an agricultural, medicinal and environmental point of view
• Explores future developments, from desired traits to expected new technologies
• Examines risks and concerns around the use of GM crops
• Discusses public perception, industrial perspectives and political and economic consequences
• Contributions from over 300 leading scientists from around the world
