Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
Rice represents a unique opportunity for improvement through genetic engineering. This new book provides a detailed review of past and present developments in the genetic engineering of rice, as well as an informed examination of current genetic engineering material and methods.
"This book provides a good entree into biotechnology and rice. . .The enduring strength of this book will be the context it will continue to provide for understanding subsequent research."
--Science and Technology
"The author has a strong and well-deserved reputation in the area of rice transformation, and the 'meat' of the book rather comprehensively presents the methods, explants, successes and failures, and limitations on data interpretation experienced in the field."
--Food Science and Technology
