Riassunto

Written by leading international experts in the field of plant metabolic engineering, this book discusses how the technology can be applied. Applications resulting from metabolic engineering are expected to play a very important role in the future of plant breeding: for example, in the fields of improved resistance or improved traits concerning health promoting constituents, as well as in the production of fine chemicals such as medicines, flavors and fragrances.

Recensione:

From the reviews:

"Impressive progress has been made in this rapidly growing area of second generation biotechnology. ... is an updated comprehensive reference on the applications of plant metabolic engineering. ... This book will prove useful for researchers and professionals alike who are into the field of plant metabolic engineering. It must be emphasized that each chapter in the book is well referenced with current literature, which highlights the task of ending a book in this ever-expanding field ... . The authors have done a commendable job." (C. Jayabaskaran, Current Science, Vol. 93 (12), 2007)
