New directions for biosciences research in agriculture : high-reward opportunities

Authored by an integrated committee of plant and animal scientists, this review of newer molecular genetic techniques and traditional research methods is presented as a compilation of high-reward opportunities for agricultural research. Directed to the Agricultural Research Service and the agricultural research community at large, the volume discusses biosciences research in genetic engineering, animal science, plant science, and plant diseases and insect pests. An optimal climate for productive research is discussed Presented by an integrated committee of plant and animal scientists, this volume provides a review of molecular genetic techniques and traditional research methods. It discusses biosciences research in genetic engineering, animal science, plant science, plant diseases and insect pests; and also an optimal climate for productive research.
