"The Unfolding Gene Revolution," a book co-published by SEARCA and International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-biotech Applications (ISAAA) clinched the 2008 National Academy of Science and Technology (NAST) Outstanding Book Award.

Dr. Eufemio Rasco, author of the book "The Unfolding
Gene Revolution"

Dr. Rasco said “The NAST award is probably the most prestigious award a science book can obtain in this country. The prestige that goes with the award is more than I hoped for when I wrote the book… The book is a one-stop shop for plant biotechnology for the curious student, the educated layman, and even a graduate student.”

The award is one way of recognizing outstanding works in the various fields of science and technology and is given by NAST annually. A plaque of recognition will be given to the authors on July 10, 2008 at the Manila Hotel.
