| Summary |
"In Molecular Biology of Weed Control, Jonathan Gressel takes an open-minded approach to the problems, pitfalls and potential benefits of these new technologies and their applications. This is essential reading for those involved in plant molecular biology, agriculture and anyone who has an interest in the future of crop production."--Jacket |
