title: Plant Biotechnology: The Genetic Manipulation of Plants
author:  Adrian Slater 
description: <br />UNEDITED UK REVIEW: "<em>Reviews from previous edition</em> Misinformation is rife, sadly, and there is a clear need for good sources of accurate and appropriate accounts of plant biotechnology development. Adrian Slater, Nigel Scott and Mark Fowler have produced just such a textbook, providing a critical appraisal of the genetic manipulation of crop plants for advanced undergraduate study and the postgraduate student market."--<em>W. Paul Davies, Annals of Botany, Vol. 94. No 4, October 2004.</em>
