Projected impacts of agricultural biotechnologies for fruits & vegetables in the Philippines & Indonesia [1]

The last three decades witnessed a cascade of scientific discoveries on plant molecular biology and biochemistry that served as foundation of current biotechnologies used in improving agricultural crops. Genes coding for important agricultural traits useful to farmers and consumers
were discovered, isolated and introduced into cultivated crops using modern tools of molecular biology. Plant biotechnology has emerged among the most innovative technologies in agriculture and has been increasingly used for improvement of crops which include fruits, vegetables, and plantation crops. This book, Projected Impacts of Agricultural Biotechnologies for Fruits
and Vegetables in the Philippines and Indonesia presents the results of a series of studies, under the auspices of ABSPII, that assessed the potential economic impacts of bioengineered eggplant, papaya, and tomato in the Philippines; and
potato and tomato in Indonesia.
