As the oldest and largest human intervention in nature, the science of agriculture is one of the most intensely studied practices. From manipulation of plant gene structure to the use of plants for bioenergy, biotechnology interventions in plant and agricultural science have been rapidly developing over the past ten years with immense forward leaps on an annual basis. This book begins by laying the foundations for plant biotechnology by outlining the biological aspects including gene structure and expression, and the basic procedures in plant biotechnology of genomics, metabolomics, transcriptomics and proteomics. It then focuses on a discussion of the impacts of biotechnology on plant breeding technologies and germplasm sustainability. The role of biotechnology in the improvement of agricultural traits, production of industrial products and pharmaceuticals as well as biomaterials and biomass provide a historical perspective and a look to the future. Sections addressing intellectual property rights and sociological and food safety issues round out the holistic discussion of this important topic.

En este libro se presenta una gran cantidad de información. El primer capítulo del libro cubre la célula vegetal, que es la unidad estructural y funcional. El resto del texto se divide en 4 secciones. Los primeros 7 capitulos (Seccion 1) tratan de los procesos fisicos; los 7 capitulos centrales (Seccion 2) del metabolismo y la bioquimica, y los 8 capitulos de la Seccion 3 del crecimiento y desarrollo. Los ultimos dos capitulos (Seccion 4) discuten la influencia del ambiente en el sistema planta. La parte mas informativa y disfrutable del libro son los ensayos de varios fisiologos vegetales eminentes que se ponen como invitados.

Las referencias, que son parte esencial de la literatura cientifica, estan cubiertas en el final de libro. Este libro es muy recomendable para estudiantes tanto graduados como sin graduar.

Por el proceso de infusión solar, la energía de las flores es transmutada al agua pudiendo entonces ser usada terapéuticamente. Es el propio Dr. Jorge L. Raff quien ejecuta todo el proceso, tornándolo muy especial, pues su sensibilidad y conciencia canalizan una fuerte e inusitada energía a las esencias. Gracias a la experiencia de muchos años de tratamiento florales, él ha descubierto que la predisposición hacia un momento conflictivo para el ser humano, está regida por la conciencia. El efecto sanador se produce gracias a la luminosidad de cada esencia, que vibrando en consonancia con el alma, reactiva la fuerza vibracional de cada individuo. A través de una simbiosis con las flores, Raff consigue captar todo el potencial energético contenido en el alma de éstas (él se torna una especie de espejo mágico que filtra la "quintaesencia" de las flores).¿Hay secretos? ¿Hay magia? ¿Hay alquimia?.Hay amor, por encima de todo, canalizado con especial sensibilidad a lo largo de su trabajo. Esta característica de las "Flores de Raff" constituye un avance para la época actual, ofrecido al mundo desde estas latitudes.
