By Ruben G. Echeverria, Derek Byerlee, Ruben G Echeverria

Developments in plant breeding and biotechnology, for example, have created profitable opportunities for private investment. However, new issues, such as intellectual property rights, have arisen as a consequence. This book discusses these and related issues.
