The FAO "Glossary of biotechnology for food and agriculture", published in 2001 as FAO Research and Technology Paper 9, has now been translated into French, entitled "Glossaire de la biotechnologie pour lalimentation et lagriculture". Apart from a translation of the over 3,000 terms and definitions contained in the original English glossary, the 427-page publication also contains an additional English-French vocabulary of biotechnology-related terms. The French translation was compiled by M. Atallah, with an extensive revision by M. Tepfer and A. Eggen. The publication is available both in PDF and as a searchable database, at http://www.fao.org/biotech/index_glossary.asp?lang=fr. Alternatively, contact FAO to request a copy of the publication.
