| Abstract | Plant scientists and science policymakers from government, private companies, and universities met at a convocation on the genetic engineering of plants. During the convocation, researchers described some of the ways genetic engineering may be used to address agricultural problems. Policymakers delineated and debated changes in research funding and training necessary to realize this potential. In addition, various speakers urged new collaborative efforts among basic scientists and plantbreeders. This book, intended to serve as an introduction and guide for those who wish to follow the development of this promising new technology, summarizes these discussions. Sections in the book focus on topics and issues related to: (1) crop improvement; (2) gene transfer; (3) genetic engineering as a tool for fundamental plant science; (4) somatic cell genetics; (5) applications of biotechnology to agricultural problems (including herbicide resistance, bioengineered microorganisms used to combat plant diseases, and nitrogen fixation); (6) policy and institutional considerations; (7) university-industry relations (considering university concerns, industry concerns, and a three-way cooperative program in New York); (8) safety regulations; and (9) patents.
