Hardback. Condition: Good. An on-the-ground research biologist tells a clear-eyed story of modern plant genetics, the human manipulation of biology, and the reality of genetically engineered plants worldwide. Genetically engineered plant products line the shelves of our grocery stores but we dont know which ones they are because no label identifies them. Should we be concerned? Biotech companies claim that engineered corn and canola are safe, but are they telling the truth? Should we, like the Europeans, be engaging in violent protests against biotechnology? In High Tech Harvest , Paul Lurquin answers these questions and more, believing that the public has a right to know and understand how its food is manipulated at the most basic level, that of the DNA itself. With the goal to inform, and a mission to reinforce the importance of the scientific method, Paul Lurquin writes a comprehensive and user-friendly description of the scientific origins, the development, and the applications of genetically modified plants throughout the world today.…

Genetically modified foods the consumer's concern/S. R. Khanna. The use of genetic engineering techniques for producing transgenic plants results in the transfer of desirable traits across the species barrier. This has led to a worldwide debate on a range of ethical moral and social considerations associated with the risks and benefits of this technique to man and the environment. The world has literally become a battleground involving scientists politicians policy makers journalists industry representatives farmers and consumers with a polarization of society into proponents and opponents of biotechnology. Genetically modified foods are being labelled Frankenstein foods with accusations that the technique challenges the role of God the sanctity of nature the ownership of life forms etc. However it is equally true that the achievements of the green revolution are proving insufficient for feeding India's teeming millions. Biotechnological interventions can play a vital role by not only increasing crop productivity but also taking care of the increasing threat of biotic and abiotic stresses on crop plants. This book is based on four workshops (Stakeholders dialogue on agricultural biotechnology biosafety and economic implications) on genetically modified plants organized by Teri. It outlines the relevance of plant biotechnology to Indian agriculture and the im.…
