Improvement of Cereal Quality by Genetic Engineering

Klappentext

Covers the development of techniques for transforming cereals, the genetic engineering of cereal protein and starch quality, improving barley quality, and the regulation of cereal genetic engineering. The 20 papers comprise the proceedings of a symposium in Sydney, Australia, September 1993. Annotat
