Most biological traits involve the interplay of several discreet genes and individual genes are often assembled from DNA fragments that are dispersed along the chromosome. In recent years, scientists have observed that some genetic elements appear to jump around within a chromosome. There is sophisticated editing of genetics sequences a wide range of hormonal effects, and several other phenomena that radically contradict simple, linear models of gene expression.

The book aims to provide an updated overview of the current status of the worlds genetic resources for food and agriculture besides analysis of the environmental biotechnology, genetic transformation biotechnology markets, genetic transformation and biotechnology etc.
