Global Regulatory Outlook of CRISPRized Plants summarizes CRISPR/Cas systems and applications for precise editing of plant genomes and discusses global regulatory frameworks for CRISPR edited crops. While CRISPR technology has become a routine, cheap, and efficient method to generate edited crops with superior traits, how these crops are regulated determines the future of this technology. Understanding the current state of regulation, concerns, issues, and foundations for future decisions are key in determining how this technology is used going forward. This important summary will be vital to the successful commercialization of CRISPR technology and biosafety concerns associated with this technology. The book highlights regulatory classification of CRISPR modifications such as SDN1, SDN2 and SDN3 and their global regulation and discusses the social, ethical, governance, and policy issues related to CRISPR edited crops.

Presents regulatory frameworks for CRISPR edited crops in the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, Japan, EU, Africa, and AsiaIncludes a specific chapter on global regulation of genetically engineered cropsAddresses public perception, social aspects, and ethical concerns that are impacting the commercialization of CRISPR edited crops

Intelligent Gene Editing in Plants analyzes how AI-enabled design and CRISPR-based genome engineering are reshaping plant genetics, with a clear functional focus on delivering durable gains in crop productivity, stress tolerance, and nutritional quality.The work unfolds in three parts: [i] a foundational survey of genome-editing technologies and the evolving role of AI in precise trait modifications and outcome prediction; [ii] a thorough exploration of applications and synergies, including AI-assisted gRNA optimization, off-target mitigation, regulatory-network analysis, and trait enhancement for disease resistance and climate resilience; and [iii] an emerging-horizons section on cis-regulatory edits, omics integration, synthetic biology, and next-generation editing.Throughout, the volume interweaves practical experiences, cutting-edge methodologies, and case studies, alongside discussions of biosafety, ethical concerns, governance, and public perception, providing a holistic, decision-ready resource for students, researchers, practitioners, and regulatory authorities to navigate the opportunities and responsibilities of plant gene editing, with significant implications for sustainable agriculture and global food security.Bridges CRISPR and AI into a unified platform that enables adaptive prototyping, rigorous validation, and scalable deployment in diverse cropping systemsStreamlines design-to-delivery pipelines, realizing more reliable translation into crop improvements and shorter development timelinesIntegrates multi-omics data, phenotypic profiles, and environmental context to model performance and guide targeted interventions

This new volume looks at the applications of biomarkers as important tools for herbal drug discovery, presenting research on phytoconstituents with advanced nanotechnological applications for healthcare benefits.Herbal drug discovery based on biomarkers is an emerging area in complementary and alternative medicine that has tremendous potential in healthcare. Conventional medications have limited efficacy and high toxicity, whereas herbal drugs are said to provide wide structural diversity that is not usually seen with conventional/synthetic drug molecules. Recognition of various herbal constituents, such as terpenoids, fatty acids, flavonoids and steroids, are well explored in the management and treatment of various disorders in this volume. These agents target various biomarkers such as nitric oxide (NO), cytokines, chemokines, adhesion molecules, NF- kβ, lipoxygenase (LOX), and arachidonic acid.Biomarkers as Targeted Herbal Drug Discovery: A Pharmacological Approach to Nanomedicines discusses phytoconstituent-based nanotherapeutics with applications for some specific health issues, such as arthritis, leishmanicidal, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, ocular disorders, etc.
