About The Book
The rapid development of biotechnology has brought new concepts and techniques that could provide distinct benefits in the prevention and treatment of diseases, in the enhancement of food productivity, and in the protection and sustainable managernent of the environment. However, more people are thinkinc about the impacts that genetically modified organisms (GMOs) might exert on the ecology and environment as more transgenic plants are being commercialized in many countries. The importance of strict biosafety assessments under a well-regulated system is therefore becoming a global issue.
