Targeted Genome Engineering via CRISPR/Cas9 in Plants provides in-depth insights into the use of the emerging “CRISPR/Cas9” technology for precise genome editing. This technology has revolutionized plant science research particularly for crop improvement owing to its simplicity and efficiency. The book provides a wide range of CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing techniques for a variety of plants. Chapters include the latest applications of CRISPR/Cas9 system in connection with abiotic stresses, biotic stresses, biofortification, yield improvement, disease modelling and prognosis and molecular diagnosis. Targeted Genome Engineering via CRISPR/Cas9 in Plants also evaluates various regulatory and ethical aspects that must be considered when implementing the CRISPR/Cas9 approach.
This book is a valuable resource for professionals and researchers, as it provides effective CRISPR/Cas9-based strategies for sustainable agriculture and treatment of various diseases.
