In recent years, significant advancements have been made in the
management of nutritional deficiency using genome
engineering--enriching the nutritional properties of agricultural
and horticultural crop plants such as wheat, rice, potatoes,
grapes, and bananas. To meet the demands of the rapidly growing
world population, researchers are developing a range of new genome
engineering tools and strategies, from increasing the
nutraceuticals in cereals and fruits, to decreasing the
anti-nutrients in crop plants to improve the bioavailability of
minerals and vitamins. Genome Engineering for Crop Improvement
provides an up-to-date view of the use of genome editing for crop
bio-fortification, improved bioavailability of minerals and
nutrients, and enhanced hypo-allergenicity and hypo-immunogenicity.
This volume examines a diversity of important topics including
mineral and nutrient localization, metabolic engineering of
carotenoids and flavonoids, genome engineering of zero calorie
potatoes and allergen-free grains, engineering for stress
resistance in crop plants, and more. Helping readers deepen their
knowledge of the application of genome engineering in crop
improvement, this book: Presents genetic engineering methods for
developing edible oil crops, mineral translocation in grains,
increased flavonoids in tomatoes, and cereals with enriched iron
bioavailability Describes current genome engineering methods and
the distribution of nutritional and mineral composition in
important crop plants Offers perspectives on emerging technologies
and the future of genome engineering in agriculture Genome
Engineering for Crop Improvement is an essential resource for
academics, scientists, researchers, agriculturalists, and students
of plant molecular biology, system biology, plant biotechnology,
and functional genomics.
