 The
FAO Biotechnology Glossary is now available in Russian.
Apart from a translation of the over 3,000 terms and definitions
contained in the original English glossary, the 381-page
publication also contains an additional English-Russian
vocabulary of biotechnology-related terms.
The glossary provides consolidated, comprehensive and accessible
definitions of terms and acronyms that are used regularly in
biotechnology, including genetic engineering, and closely allied
fields.
The initial draft was prepared by G. Camarova (State
Agricultural University of Moldova, Republic of Moldova) and
revised by T. Gavrilenko, I. Anisimova and O. Antonova
(N.I.Vavilov Institute of Plant Industry, Russian Federation)
for plant-related terminology and by O. Kuznetsova and S.
Kharitonov (Russian State Agrarian University, Russian
Federation) for animal-related terminology. It is available in
PDF, and soon as a web-based searchable database, at
http://www.fao.org/biotech/index_glossary.asp.
The book was prepared by FAO's Research and Extension Division,
in collaboration with the FAO Regional Office for Europe and
Central Asia. The original English version was prepared by A.
Zaid, H.G. Hughes, E. Porceddu and F. Nicholas in 2001. The
glossary has previously been translated into Arabic, French,
Serbian, Spanish and Vietnamese and all these seven versions can
be downloaded from the above website.
