GMO Food
Author: David E. Newton
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN:
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 191
Book Description
GMO Food: A Reference Handbook offers an in-depth discussion of genetically modified food. It covers the history of, opposition to, regulation of, and labeling of genetic modifications, along with the potential benefits and harm involved. GMO Food: A Reference Handbook is intended to serve as a research guide for young adults in high school and beyond. Students at all grade levels should be able to use the book as an introduction to the history of genetic engineering of organisms and the use of this technology for the development of new forms of crops and foods. They will learn briefly about historic methods of plant and animal modification (such as cross-breeding) and, in more detail, how discoveries since the late nineteenth century have greatly changed the process of plant and animal modification. These discoveries include important steps forward in genetics, biochemistry, molecular biology, genetic engineering, and related fields. They will also learn about the variety of social, political, philosophical, economic, and other issues that have arisen alongside these scientific advances, as well as about some of the laws, regulations, and other solutions that have been developed for dealing with the range of attitudes about genetically modified foods. The second edition covers developments since 2014.

Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 523
Book Description
In the past two decades, fungal biotechnology has progressed at a fast pace. Advances in Fungal Biotechnology provides coverage of these advances, and of the multiple roles played by fungi. This includes the industrial applications of fungi for the production of pigments, citric acid and vitamins, the beneficial effects of mycorrhizal fungi, mycoviruses, and biotransformation. Key features: Focuses on Biocontrol strategies of fungi. Deals with the role of fungal enzymesxylanases and laccases. Discusses mycoviruses as an emerging tool for controlling pathogenic fungi. Incorporates industrial applications, such as the production of pigments, citric acid and vitamins. Addresses biotransformation by fungi.
