This edited book support Sustainable Development Goal 2 (SDG 2):
Zero Hunger. This book summarizes the contribution of genetic
engineering for sustainable crop improvement toward global food and
health security, climate resilience and economic growth. The book
acts as a compendium of research reports on recent developments in
the arena of cisgenics or transgenics or genome editing of crop
plants for tolerance to biotic or abiotic stresses, introgression
of value-added traits, molecular pharming etc. Sustainable crop
productivity, yield and nutrition are the major constrain for food
and nutritional security for the human population especially, in
developing countries where arable land per capita is shrinking
while the human population is steadily increasing. Zero hunger and
achieving food security is the top priority of the United Nations
development goals. This book explains various methods of genetic
transformation such as transgenic, cisgenic, and genome editing for
crop improvement. It also encompasses the advantages of genetic
engineering in plants and their scope for sustainable crop
improvement. The importance, limitations, challenges, GM biosafety
regulations, recent advancements and future prospects of GM crops
are covered in various chapters. This book is of interest to
teachers, researchers, plant tissue culturists, GM crop experts,
research scholars, academicians, plant breeders, policymakers etc.
Also, the book serves as additional reading material for
undergraduate and graduate students of agriculture, forestry,
ecology, soil science, and environmental sciences. National and
international agricultural scientists and policymakers will also
find this to be a useful read.
