This comprehensive book serves as a valuable resource for teachers, researchers, and students alike, providing a concise and informative guide for designing and implementing advanced technologies for crop improvement. The book's content is meticulously crafted to encompass the latest genome engineering techniques, offering a solution to the limitations of conventional breeding methods. Conventional breeding, while effective in the past, faces challenges such as the non-availability of desired genes within the genepool. In many cases, breeding has reached its peak in terms of crop productivity and production. However, with the ever-increasing demand for food and the diminishing resources available, including water, land, and labor, it is crucial to explore alternative methods for increasing crop productivity. Genome engineering encompasses a wide range of technologies, including genetic engineering, transgenesis, RNA technologies, CRISPR, cisgenics, and subgenics, all aimed at enhancing productivity and managing biotic and abiotic stress effectively. The book is designed to enlighten readers with these advanced technologies through practical examples and case studies, whenever possible. While the focus will primarily be on major food crops, it will be emphasized that these efforts can serve as proof of concepts and can be scaled up based on market demand. By presenting these technologies in a user-friendly and accessible manner, the book aims to empower individuals and organizations in the agriculture sector to embrace innovation and drive sustainable crop improvement.
