Targeted Genome Engineering via CRISPR/Cas9 in Plants provides in-depth insights into the use of the emerging "CRISPR/Cas9" technology for precise genome editing. This technology has revolutionized plant science research particularly for crop improvement owing to its simplicity and efficiency. Targeted Genome Engineering via CRISPR/Cas9 in Plants provides a wide range of CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing techniques for numerous varieties of plants. Chapters include the latest applications of CRISPR/Cas9 system in connection with abiotic stress, biotic stress, biofortification, yield improvement, disease modelling and prognosis and molecular diagnosis. This book also evaluates various regulatory and ethical aspects that must be considered when implementing the CRISPR/Cas9 approach. This book is a valuable resource for professionals and researchers, as it provides effective CRISPR/Cas9-based strategies for sustainable agriculture and treatment of infectious and non-infectious diseases.
