This book was released on 2001 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In applying ancient Hebrew maxims to the revolution in plant biotechnology, Esra Galun (Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel) and Eithan Galun (Hadassah U. Hospital) contend that motivation in this field may stem as much from the prospect of being a creator of something new as from producing valuable medical products. They cover the fundamentals of plant molecular genetics and genetic transformations prior to discussing the relation of transgenic "plantibodies" to immunology and therapeutic products unrelated to the immune system. Further considerations include research gaps and safety issues. Distributed in the US by World Scientific. c. Book News Inc.
