Climate Change and Food Security with Emphasis on Wheat is the first book to present the full scope of research in wheat improvement, revealing the correlations to global issues including climate change and global warming which contribute to food security issues. Wheat plays a key role in the health of the global economy. As the world population continuously increases, economies modernize, and incomes rise, wheat production will have to increase dramatically to secure it as a reliable and sustainable food source. Since covering more land area with wheat crops is not a sustainable option, future wheat crops must have consistently higher yields and be able to resist and/or tolerate biotic and abiotic stresses that result from climate change.

Addressing the biophysical and socioeconomic constraints of producing high-yielding, disease-resistant, and good quality wheat, this book will aid in research efforts to increase and stabilize wheat production worldwide.

Written by an international team of experts, Climate Change and Food Security with Emphasis on Wheat is an excellent resource for academics, researchers, and students interested in wheat and grain research, especially as it is relevant to food security.

Covers a wide range of disciplines, including plant breeding, genetics, agronomy, physiology, pathology, quantitative genetics and genomics, biotechnology and gene editing Explores the effect of climate change on biotic stresses (stripe rust, stem rust, leaf rust, Karnal bunt, spot blotch) on wheat production and utilization of biotechnology Focuses on whole genome sequencing and next-generation sequencing technologies to improve wheat quality and address the issue of malnutrition in developing world

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. The book provides a wide range of CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing techniques for a variety of plants. Chapters include the latest applications of CRISPR/Cas9 system in connection with abiotic stresses, biotic stresses, biofortification, yield improvement, disease modelling and prognosis and molecular diagnosis. Targeted Genome Engineering via CRISPR/Cas9 in Plants 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 various diseases.Explains basic mechanism and implementation of CRISPR/Cas9 technology in a wide range of plants.Provides practical guidance on the applications of CRISPR/Cas9 in different scientific disciplines of plant science.Discusses the risks and challenges of genome engineering.
