Genetic Engineering and Genome Editing for Zinc Biofortification of Rice is a comprehensive resource that provides a detailed overview of genetic engineering approaches, including novel genome editing techniques, for enhancing the zinc content of rice, a staple crop for a significant portion of the world's population. While zinc biofortification can be achieved through conventional breeding, genetic engineering, and agronomic practices, this book presents the latest developments, based on real-world experience and with targeted applications.
Dietary zinc deficiency can have detrimental health consequences, including increased risk of stunting, respiratory diseases, diarrhea, and mortality during childhood, as well as preterm births in pregnancy. While providing access to a diverse diet is considered the ideal solution to alleviate zinc deficiency, it may not be feasible in developing countries. Zinc biofortification, a process of increasing the zinc concentration in the edible part of food crops, has been proposed as a sustainable approach to reach people living in remote rural areas, complementing other interventions such as supplementation and industrial fortification.
This book offers a comprehensive view of the need for and means of zinc biofortification in rice. Sections in this book discuss state-of-the-art scientific advances and then place them in their proper scientific, regulatory, and socioeconomic contexts. Thus, Genetic Engineering and Genome Editing for Zinc Biofortification of Rice is a valuable resource for graduate students, researchers, educators, librarians, and professionals in various institutions focused on agriculture, environmental science, and plant science.
