"During the past decade, there has been tremendous progress in maize biotechnology.
This volume provides an overview of our current knowledge of maize molecular genetics,
how it is being used to improve the crop, and future possibilities for crop enhancement.
Several chapters deal with genetically engineered traits that are currently, or soon
will be, in commercial production. Technical approaches for introducing novel genes
into the maize genome, the regeneration of plants from transformed cells, and the
creation of transgenic lines for field production are covered. Further, the authors
describe how molecular genetic techniques are being used to identify genes and characterize
their function, and how these procedures are utilized to develop elite maize germplasm.
Moreover, molecular biology and physiological studies of corn as a basis for the improvement
of its nutritional and food-making properties are included. Finally, the growing use
of corn as biomass for energy production is discussed."--Jacket
