Environmental effects of transgenic plants : the scope and adequacy of regulation /

Show other versions (1)

Transgenic crops offer the promise of increased agricultural productivity and better quality foods. But they also raise the specter of harmful environmental effects. In this new book, a panel of experts examines: 1. Similarities and differences between crops developed by conventional and transgenic...
