The debate over genetic manipulation and its use in plant improvement and
protection has led to an increased demand for developing methods for detecting
and characterizing genetic manipulation in plants and plant products such as
seeds and foods. This book is unique in presenting all relevant methods together
in one volume: those for using and determining markers retained in genetically
manipulated products as well as methods for eliminating marker genes and
procedures for characterizing chromosomal aberrations in genetically manipulated
plants.
