Synopsis

CRISPR Technology for Combating Plant Pests and Pathogens improves the understanding of CRISPR-mediated crop protection, presenting innovative strategies for developing disease-resistant crops that can withstand a variety of biotic stresses.

In agricultural food production, a range of stressors continues to challenge crop production globally. Fortunately, modern crop breeding approaches have developed rapidly, including the promising technology of plant genome editing. Leading to improvements in disease resilience or stress-tolerant crops, CRISPR/Cas9 is among the mainstream genome editing technologies for plant breeding precision and efficiency.

CRISPR Technology for Combating Plant Pests and Pathogens offers in-depth summaries curated by leading experts and professors in the field of agricultural biotechnology, providing the essential knowledge needed to advance research and applications in crop resilience.

  • Provides CRISPR-based methods for advancing plant pest and pathogen management
  • Includes ways to improve efficiency and reduce off-target effects of CRISPR technology
  • Discusses ethical and societal issues for CRISPR technology
