GENOME EDITING IN PLANTS PRINCIPLES AND APPLICATIONS (HB 2022) Hardcover

"Genome Editing in Plants: Principles and Applications" provides a comprehensive overview of genome editing, tracing its evolution from foundational principles and historical context to the most recent breakthroughs. Recognizing genome editing as a powerful and innovative technology, the book compiles global research that has significantly advanced our knowledge and potential uses of this technique. The initial sections explain various genome-editing tools, their underlying mechanisms, and their applications. Subsequent chapters focus on the current state and future possibilities of applying genome-editing techniques to enhance different crop improvement initiatives. Advanced uses of CRISPR/Cas systems, such as base editing and RNA detection, are explored in detail, along with the regulatory considerations for genome-edited crops. This book is a vital resource for researchers in crop improvement, graduate and postgraduate students in plant molecular biology and biotechnology, academics, and policymakers.
