Targeted genome engineering via CRISPR/CaS9 in plants
This book, edited by Alvina Gul, explores the application of CRISPR-Cas9 genome engineering in plants. It covers a range of topics from the historical development of genome editing technologies to the specific use of CRISPR-Cas9 in various plant species. The book discusses the mechanism of CRISPR-Cas9, its applications in agriculture, and its potential to improve crop resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. It also addresses the challenges and future perspectives of genome engineering in plants. Aimed at researchers and professionals in plant biotechnology and genetics, this comprehensive resource provides insights into the innovative use of CRISPR technology in enhancing plant traits.
