CRISPRized Horticulture Crops

CRISPRized Horticultural Crops: Genome Modified Plants and Microbes in Food and Agriculture summarizes applications of CRISPR/Cas systems and its advance variants e.g., CRISPR/Cpf1, base editing and prime editing, for precise editing of horticultural crops. It discusses vector transformations methods, epi-genome, deep learning, synthetic biology and precision breeding for improving yield and quality related attributes in horticultural crops. Horticultural crops, including fruit, vegetable, and ornamental plants are an important component of the agriculture production systems and play an important role in sustaining human life. Although conventional breeding techniques have significantly contributed to the development of important varieties, new approaches are required to further improve horticultural crop production. With coverage of the relevant technologies and their applications, the book also includes bioinformatics and large-scale databases and their potential application in fruits, vegetables and ornamental plants. CRISPRized Horticultural Crops also addresses regulatory concerns related to CRISPR edited crops, making it an invaluable reference for researchers, academics and advanced level students.
