Alien Gene Transfer in Crop Plants, Volume 1 Innovations, Methods and Risk Assessment
Transfer of alien genes into crop plants from wild and distant plant genetic resources has invoked tremendous interest of crop scientists globally and several traits including resistance to diseases and insect-pests, tolerance to drought, salinity, temperature extremities and other abiotic stresses...
