IOS Press, 2004. Hardbound. New Book. Hardbound. While genomics and related subfields are increasingly in the plant biotechnology research spotlight, there is a gap between advances in that area and issues of biosafety, according to Nap (Centre for BioSystems Genomics, Wageningen U., Netherlands). Based on a NATO-funded workshop held in October 2003, co-organized by the AgroBioInstitute in Sofia, Bulgaria, this collection of 22 papers is a major contribution to exploring that relationship. A particular are... more information
