Improvement of Crop Plants for Industrial End Uses (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Ranalli, P.

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book provides concerns useful to promote an increase of the productivity of crops by using functional genomics. Fundamental thematics have been addressed: metabolic engineering, plant breeding tools, renewable biomass for energy generation, fibres and composites, and biopharmaceuticals. The gained know how is relevant to identify bottlenecks in the major production chains and to propose actions for moving these issues forward.
