CRISPR and Plant Functional Genomics

<p>CRISPR is a crucial technology in plant physiology and molecular biology resulting in more sustainable agricultural practices including outcomes of better plant stress tolerance and crop improvement.<i> CRISPR and Plant Functional Genomics</i> explores ways to release the potential of plant functional genomics one of the prevailing topics in plant biology and a critical technology for speed and precision crop breeding. This book presents achievements in plant functional genomics and features information on diverse applications using the emerging CRISPR-based genome editing technologies producing high-yield disease-resistant and climate-smart crops. It also includes theories on organizing strategies for upgrading the CRISPR system to increase efficiency avoid off-target effects and produce transgene-free edited crops.</p><p><strong>Features:</strong></p><ul> <li>Presents CRISPR-based technologies releasing the potential of plant functional genomics</li> <li>Provides methods and applications of CRISPR/Cas-based plant genome editing technologies</li> <li>Summarizes achievements of speed and precision crop breeding using CRISPR-based technologies</li> <li>Illustrates strategies to upgrade the CRISPR system</li> <li>Supports the UN’s sustainable development goals to develop future climate-resilient crops</li> </ul><p><i>CRISPR and Plant Functional Genomics</i> provides extensive knowledge of CRISPR-based technologies and plant functional genomics and is an ideal reference for researchers graduate students and practitioners in the field of plant sciences as well as agronomy and agriculture.</p>
