Author Description

<i>Targeted Genome Engineering via CRISPR/Cas9 in Plants</i> 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. <i>Targeted Genome Engineering via CRISPR/Cas9 in Plants</i> also evaluates various regulatory and ethical aspects that must be considered when implementing the CRISPR/Cas9 approach.<br> <br>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.
