Genetic Resources And Biotechnology Vol 3

In recent years, the advances made in the use of biotechnological methods have increased to an unforeseen extent and the challenge to scientists now is to apply these techniques successfully to a range of vitally important economic and environmental situations. The impact of biotechnology on the characterization, conservation and utililization of genetic resources and consequently, future of food, agriculture, medicine and environment, is potentially enormous.
