Her account serves as a cautionary tale for the biotech age, offering a revealing look at how the science of genetic engineering is actually done, how corporate decisions are really made in biotech start-ups, and how the regulatory system in the United States does and doesn't work. Most important, First fruit goes beyond the polarized debate currently surrounding genetically modified foods to illustrate both the benefits and the risks of this new technology. 000294309 650_0 $$aTransgenic plants. 000294309 650_0 $$aTomatoes$$xGenetic engineering. 000294309 650_0 $$aGenetically modified foods. 000294309 85200 $$bgen$$hSB123.57$$i.M37$$i2001 000294309 85642 $$3Contributor biographical information$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/bios/mh041/2001018038.html 000294309 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/description/mh021/2001018038.html 000294309 85641 $$3Table of contents$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/mh021/2001018038.html 000294309 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:294309$$pGLOBAL_SET 000294309 980__ $$aBIB 000294309 980__ $$aBOOK 000294309 994__ $$aC0$$bISE
