Plant Genome Editing Technologies: Speed Breeding, Crop Improvement and Sustainable Agriculture

Plant Genome Editing Technologies: Speed Breeding, Crop Improvement and Sustainable Agriculture by Jen-Tsung Chen, Sunny Ahmar
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 316 Pages | ISBN : 9819993377 | 32.2 MB

This book reviews all important aspects of plant genome editing to shed new light on these genome editing technologies together in crop improvement and sustainable agriculture. The book is divided into three areas: the first of which reinterprets plant genome studies from an overview perspective, examining the safety and risk assessment of plants as well as breeding-related outcomes. The second area discusses recent advances in the understanding of crop improvement. A wide range of plant stress tolerance in relation to plant genome editing is then addressed, before turning attention to specific species approaches including rice, maize, wheat, and soybean. The entire book is devoted to an updated knowledge of plant genome editing technologies from all aspects of plant biology and agronomy as we move toward advancements in sustainable life research. The book will be highly recommended for agriculture biologists, agronomists, plant pathologists, and all related research areas.

Climate-Resilient Agriculture, Vol 1: Crop Responses and Agroecological Perspectives

Climate-Resilient Agriculture, Vol 1: Crop Responses and Agroecological Perspectives by Mirza Hasanuzzaman
English | PDF (True) | 2023 | 1014 Pages | ISBN : 3031374231 | 37.7 MB

Under ongoing climate change, natural and cultivated habitats of major food crops are being continuously disturbed. Such condition accelerates to impose stress effects like abiotic and biotic stressors. Drought, salinity, flood, cold, heat, heavy metals, metalloids, oxidants, irradiation etc. are important abiotic stresses; and diseases and infections caused by plant pathogens viz. fungal agents, bacteria and viruses are major biotic stresses. As a result, these harsh environments affect crop productivity and its biology in multiple complex paradigms. As stresses become the limiting factors for agricultural productivity and exert detrimental role on growth and yield of the crops, scientists and researchers are challenged to maintain global food security for a rising world population.

Sorghum is the most important cereal crop grown in the semi-arid tropics (SAT) of Africa, Asia, Australia and Americas for food, feed, fodder and fuel. It is the fifth most important cereal crop globally after rice, wheat, maize and barley, and plays a major role in global food security. Sorghum is consumed in different forms for various end-uses.
