About this book

Focusing on the use of new biotechnologies to create more sustainable agriculture within the framework of global environmental changes, this reference highlights developments in molecular biology and genetic engineering. It discusses new emerging technologies such as metabolomics, metagenomics, nutrigenomics and more recently ionomics, and their translation to agricultural research and productive technologies. An international team of experts from 12 countries present concrete examples of the use of omics technologies in food production systems and their application to soil-plant-environment interactions.
