The challenges of commercializing second-generation transgenic crop traits necessitate the development of international public sector research infrastructure.

Abstract excerpt

It has been 30 years since the first transformation of a gene into a plant species, and since that time a number of biotechnology products have been developed, with the most important being insect- and herbicide-resistant crops. The development of second-generation products, including nutrient use efficiency and tolerance to important environmental stressors such as drought, has, up to this time, been less...
