Title: Genetic engineering of plants for improved crop production. December 1985-April 1990 (A Bibliography from the Biobusiness data base). Report for December 1985-April 1990

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6728050

This bibliography contains citations concerning the use of genetic engineering to improve crop production. Genetic alterations of plants that provide insect protection, herbicide resistance, disease resistance, improved quality, and higher yield are discussed. Methods of developing environmentally tolerant crops that are able to withstand extremes of temperature, reduced water consumption, and reduced fertilizer requirements are examined. Genetic engineering of microorganisms that are beneficial to plants is discussed in a separate bibliography. (This updated bibliography contains 213 citations, 70 of which are new entries to the previous edition.)
