The FAO Glossary of Biotechnology for Food and Agriculture has now been translated into Serbian (published by Partenon, Belgrade). The 351-page book provides in English the same terms and definitions contained in the original glossary as well as their Serbian translation. The glossary provides consolidated, comprehensive and accessible definitions of over 3,000 terms and acronyms that are used regularly in biotechnology, including genetic engineering, and closely allied fields. The original English version of the glossary was written by A. Zaid, H.G. Hughes, E. Porceddu and F. Nicholas and the Serbian translation was carried out by M. Plavsic, T. Cobic and S. Stojanovic, with Z. Stojanovic as the technical secretary and M. Kraljevic-Balalic as the reviewer. The publication (3 MB) can be downloaded from the multi-lingual biotechnology glossary website, http://www.fao.org/biotech/index_glossary.asp. Contact [email protected] for more information.
