CRISPR for Climate-Smart and Sustainable Agriculture

CRISPR for Climate-Smart Sustainable Agriculture: GPMFA series volume summarizes the current achievement of genome editing technology in plants involving food and energy crops. It presents methods and applications of CRISPR tools for obtaining climate-smart and stress-tolerance crops to face biotic and abiotic stressors in the scenario of climate change. CRISPR is an emerging and fast-upgrading crucial technology for the research field of plant physiology, plant molecular biology, and crop breeding. It benefits climate-smart and sustainable agriculture by achieving climate resilience, stress tolerance, and high yield. Organized by specific plant challenge, the book presents expert insights from around the globe providing updated knowledge of CRISPR with an emphasis on facing climate change and supporting sustainable agriculture. This book will be valuable for researchers, academics and advanced level students seeking to understand and advance the use of CRISPR technologies toward the UN SDGs and the Paris Climate Agreement.
