商品描述

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.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書旨在為讀者提供對基因編輯方法的深入理解。它縮短了最先進的科學研究與實際應用之間的差距。本書詳細分析了基因編輯在提高產量、抗病性和營養強化方面的應用。此外,它還提供了對於將基因編輯應用於穀物(包括小麥、稻米和玉米)的成就與持續困難的見解。此外,本書還通過展示案例研究和實際情況,探討了基因編輯實施過程中所面臨的倫理、法規和公眾認知問題。最後,它檢視了基因編輯在穀物未來的可能性,想像這些創新如何支持韌性農業、糧食安全和氣候變遷適應。

本書的主要焦點是穀物作物(如小麥、稻米、玉米和大麥)中基因編輯的進展與前景,因此對於植物科學家、育種專家、生物技術專業人士以及參與農業生物技術的法規和政策方面的人士最為相關。它也可以作為從事穀物作物研究與開發的研究生和學術機構的寶貴資源。
