This book aims to provide readers with a thorough understanding of the gene editing methods. It closes the gap between state-of-the-art scientific research and real-world applications. A detailed analysis of use of gene editing to improve yield, disease resilience and nutrient fortification is covered in this book. It further provides insights into the achievements and lingering difficulties of applying gene editing to cereals, including wheat, rice, and maize. Additionally, this volume addresses the ethical, regulatory and public perception concerns that come with its implementation by showcasing case studies and real-world instances. Lastly, it examines the possibilities for gene editing in cereals in the future, imagining how these innovations may support resilient agriculture, food security and climate change adaptation.
The primary focus of this book is on the progress and prospects of gene editing in cereal crops, such as wheat, rice, corn, and barley, which makes it most relevant to plant scientists, breeders, biotechnology professionals, and those involved in the regulatory and policy aspects of agricultural biotechnology. It could also serve as a valuable resource for graduate students and academic institutions engaged in cereal crop research and development.
