Produktbeschreibung

Plant Virus Management Through Genome Editing: Innovations and Applications offers a comprehensive overview of how genome editing technologies are transforming the field of plant virus management. Addressing the challenges of crop yield loss and food security caused by plant viruses, this book explores tools such as CRISPR-Cas, TALENs, and ZFNs, and their applications in developing virus-resistant crops. It covers molecular mechanisms, RNA-based approaches, bioinformatics tools, and real-world case studies, with a strong focus on sustainability.

• Complete overview of genome editing technologies in plant virus management, including CRISPR-Cas, TALENs, and ZFNs.
• Combines scientific foundations with practical case studies from a variety of crop types.
• Highlights RNA-based strategies such as RNA interference and CRISPR-Cas13 for managing RNA viruses.
• Sustainable agriculture by reducing dependence on chemical treatments.
• Insights into host-virus molecular interactions and how genome editing can disrupt viral infection pathways.
• Explores the integration of genome editing with traditional breeding techniques.
• Features a dedicated section on bioinformatics tools for identifying genome editing targets.
