Description
Applied plant science can be defined as the application of advances in biological sciences, especially advances in cell and molecular biology, to the production of sustainable, low pesticide food, feed and food ingredients, and renewable raw materials for industry and society. Applied plant science also includes continuing advances in the areas of ecology, plant pathology, plant genetics, plant physiology, plant biogeochemistry, and biotechnology. This set addresses the core knowledge, theories, and techniques employed by plant scientists in all of these areas, while concentrating on their applications in research and industry. (Midwest).
