β¦ Synopsis
Using patent data, this work provides an initial empirical investigation into university production of agricultural biotechnology patents. We develop a consistent theoretical methodology for understanding the university patent production process and then estimate count data econometric models of university-owned agricultural biotechnology patents on a series of explanatory variables. The zero inflated negative binomial econometric model used allows inclusion of all major universities, rather than merely those dedicated to agricultural research. The results demonstrate the importance of the US land grant university infrastructure, technology transfer offices, and star scientists.

There has been much discussion regarding the potential environmental benefits and hazards associated with agricultural biotechnology. Some argue that it can eliminate the need for a wide range of material inputs such as pesticides and herbicides. Others argue that it will increase the demand for non
## Contents Biotechnology in livestock comprises an arsenal of reproductive biotechniques and molecular genetics. While molecular genetics are poorly developed in swine, reproductive techniques are more advanced and applied under field conditions. This review describes three selected examples of ou
## Abstract The acceptability of foods chiefly depends on their flavour. Natural flavour is formed biochemically by processes of ripening, refining or fermentation or by the effect of microorganisms. In many cases, however, only aroma precursors are formed in the course of biologicalβbiochemical pr
