Cover of Matthew R. Willmann: Genome editing for precision crop breeding (ePUB)

  • Comprehensive, systematic review of advances in key CRISPR/Cas technologies, such as TALENS and zinc finger nucleases, double-strand break repair techniques, insertion-based genome edits, base editing, guide RNAs, g RNA/Cas9 constructs and CRISPR/Cas off targeting

  • Covers both techniques and their practical application to particular cereal and other crops

  • Discusses challenges in regulating this emerging technology
