pest-resistant cotton under the National High-Tech Program (863 Program)
Description
This book describes the major acheivements made in the R&D of transgenic insect pest-resistant cotton under the financial support of the
Ministry of Science & Technology for the National High-Tech Program. This resulted in the development of Transgenic Bt cotton, the first
biotechnology product applied in Chinese agriculture. Translated from the original Chinese proceedings of the 2000 China-ASEAN Workshop
on Transgenic Plants, this reference represents a valuable wealth of information that has been updated to include advances made since
the first printing in 2001.
Audience
Plant scientists, entomologists, molecular biologists, geneticists, and pathologists
