Description
A multi-faceted reference work, the
Encyclopedia of Applied Plant Sciences addresses the core knowledge, theories, and
techniques employed by plant scientists, while also concentrating on applications of these in research and in industry.
Plants influence
all our lives as sources of sustenance, fuel and building materials. The
Encyclopedia of Applied Plant Sciences is a
comprehensive yet succinct publication that covers the application of current advances in the biological sciences, through which scientists
can now better produce sustainable, safe food, feed and food ingredients, and renewable raw materials for industry and society.
This
three-volume set also covers the concerns over continuing advances in the application of knowledge in the areas of ecology and plant
pathology, genetics, physiology, biochemistry and biotechnology, as well as the ethical issues involved in the use of the powerful techniques
available to modern plant science.
An invaluable reference, the
Encyclopedia of Applied Plant Sciences will be an
indispensable addition to the library of anyone involved in the study of plant sciences.
