With the rapid increase in the global population and changing
climatic impacts on agriculture, this book demonstrates how genome
editing will be an indispensable technique to overcome ongoing and
prospective agricultural challenges. This book examines the role of
genome editing for improving crop yields and contributing to global
food security. It summarises a range of genome editing techniques
and discusses the roles they can play in producing a new generation
of high-yielding, climate ready crops. This includes Site-Specific
Nucleases, precision genome engineering, Clustered Regularly
Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) and bioinformatics.
It showcases how these gene editing techniques can tailor plants to
not only increase yield related traits, but to also make them
better suited to their environment and to be resistant to pests and
extreme climatic events, such as droughts. The book also examines
genome editing regulations and policies, the commercialisation of
genome edited crops and biosafety and biosecurity concerns.
Overall, this book reveals and showcases how genome editing can
improve crop resilience and production to address current and
future agricultural challenges and for the alleviation of global
food security concerns. This book will be of great interest to
students and scholars of agricultural science, crop and plant
science, genome editing, sustainable agriculture, biotechnology and
food security.
