"The maximum proportion of the chapters in this mega book project comprise the ones which describe significant genetically modified crops from the earliest ones to the latest. This piece of work will certainly be impactful over the controversies and challenges that have been hovering over these various genetically-modified foods. Apart from readership point of view, it will prove out to be a great guiding tool for agronomists, agriculturalists, food biotechnologists, food scientists as well etc. Great effort indeed."

Dr. Shweta Kumari, Women Scientist, Department of Biochemical Engineering and Biotechnology, Indian Institute of Technology

 

"This book will be a blessing to academics and researchers alike, since it will provide a complete review of one of the most contentious subjects today: genetically modified crops. This work stands out among other books on the subject because it provides a comprehensive and balanced overview of key aspects of a number of well-known genetically modified crops, including genetic modification requirements and mechanisms, genes in agronomic trait development, and societal benefits. Each of the book's chapters will be unique in terms of providing detailed information on various genetically modified crops."
