Abstract

Genetic engineering is likely to bring major advances in biology. The applications of greater understanding of biological function to agriculture are likely to be extensive. As a result of genetic engineering, new strategies for approaching and solving problems are available. There is concern, however, that the potential scientific advances and applications will be delayed because of lack of understanding and acceptance by society. There is a need to inform production and consumer groups concerning the advances possible if genetic engineering is to be used safely and to its fullest extent.
