Food Technology v. 38, no. 2, p. 112-11986-071676Summary: The genetic engineering of plants and its application to crop improvements for the food industry are reviewed and discussed. Topics include plant genetic engineering vs. conventional plant breeding; clonal propagation for the large-scale production of genetic copies of superior genetic variaties of plants for commercial use; the somaclonal and gametoclonal variations of clonal propagation; protoplast fusion technology (the fusion of wall-less cells); the use of recombinant DNA technology; and the development of proprietary plant variaties.
