Biosecurity Science: Genetics

This book is an introductory genetics textbook that takes an experimental approach to understanding genetics.

The detection of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) is becoming very complex, with new GMOs constantly entering world markets.

This book covers the history and development of the science and techniques that underpin plant biotechnology.

Technical progress has brought many advances in the understanding, diagnosis and treatment of genetic disease.

This book provides an accessible introduction to the three key areas of genetics: Mendelian, Molecular and Population.

The 7th edition of this text features a new part on the structure and study of molecules.

This text provides an accessible, student-friendly introduction to modern genetics.

This book examines gene flow of transgenes, such as herbicide resistance genes, with the goal of understanding the factors that may affect the process of gene flow.

This book analyzes the impacts of current and possible future GM crop applications and shows that these technologies can contribute substantially to sustainable agricultural development and food security.

This book is a solid reference for researchers and professionals needing information on the safety of GMO and non-GMO food production.

Plant Genes, Genomes and Genetics provides a comprehensive treatment of all aspects of plant gene expression.
