The "Focus on Biology" series covers the major optional topics in A level Biology and is also appropriate for Scottish Higher and SYS pupils. The books give balanced accounts of the required material and are designed to reinforce and build upon students' understanding of the core syllabus. This book follows A level options in applied plant biology and ecology, and in applied genetics. It will also be of use to BTEC students following courses in Agriculture and Horticulture, and Applied Biology. It includes sections about crop productivity and management, plant propagation and growth, interactions between plants and other organisms and world food production. It also covers variations in plants, plant breeding and genetic manipulation - aspects of applied genetics in plants. When this book is used together with "Animal Science in Action", the two cover those topics in A level options for applied genetics that are not covered in core text books.
