@BOOK{NAP10258, author = "National Research Council", title = "Environmental Effects of Transgenic Plants: The Scope and Adequacy of Regulation", isbn = "978-0-309-08263-1", doi = "10.17226/10258", abstract = "Transgenic crops offer the promise of increased agricultural productivity and better quality foods. But they also raise the specter of harmful environmental effects. In this new book, a panel of experts examines: \n\u2022 Similarities and differences between crops developed by conventional and transgenic methods \n\u2022 Potential for commercialized transgenic crops to change both agricultural and nonagricultural landscapes \n\u2022 How well the U.S. government is regulating transgenic crops to avoid any negative effects. \nEnvironmental Effects of Transgenic Plants provides a wealth of information about transgenic processes, previous experience with the introduction of novel crops, principles of risk assessment and management, the science behind current regulatory schemes, issues in monitoring transgenic products already on the market, and more. The book discusses public involvement\u2014and public confidence\u2014in biotechnology regulation. And it looks to the future, exploring the potential of genetic engineering and the prospects for environmental effects. \n", url = "https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/10258/environmental-effects-of-transgenic-plants-the-scope-and-adequacy-of", year = 2002, publisher = "The National Academies Press", address = "Washington, DC" }
