Synopsis

Strunnikov presents the methods of artificial reproduction, genetic engineering, and heterosis in the silkworm that he has developed at the Koltzov Institute of Developmental Biology in Moscow. He describes four methods of artificial reproduction, the various depressive effects each has on a progeny and methods to eliminate such effects, and the impact of asexual reproduction in a species that is normally sexual. The treatment of genetic engineering at the gene, chromosome, and genome levels includes descriptions and justifications for methodologies, and direct results that have improved many aspects of experimentation and production. He also includes studies by other scientists on peas, barley, and fruit flies that confirm his results with silkworms. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
