About the Book

Recent progress in plant molecular biology has revolutionized seed technology. With the enhancement of the classical properties of seeds by genetic engineering, we have seeds that produce esoteric oils, plastics, novel starches, and more. Emerging work on seed proteins, their genes - and our understanding of seed biosynthesis - has increased enormously. Seed Technology and Its Biological Basis covers the most current advances in seed development and regulation. Edited by a renowned seed biologist with a team assembled from the most respected laboratories worldwide, Seed Technology and Its Biological Basis illustrates the commercial value of seeds as a major resource. The editors provide a sweeping overview of the current state-of-the-art in seed technology and its biological basis. The book is invaluable to researchers and professionals in both the industrial and academic sectors. The chapter authors come from such institutions as: University of Reading, United Kingdom University of Bristol, United Kingdom Washington State University, Pullman, USA University of California, Berkeley, USA CSIRO, Canberra City, Australia University of Calgary, Canada The Ohio State University, USA Germains, King's Lynn, United Kingdom BC Research, Vancouver, Canada Haywards Heath, West Sussex, United Kingdom
