CRISPR/Cas-Mediated Genome Editing in Plants

CRISPR/Cas-Mediated Genome Editing in Plants

With over 820 million people facing hunger in today’s world the need of the hour is the design of plant varieties with high yield improved traits and resistance properties in order to mitigate the detrimental impacts of biotic and abiotic stress conditions on food crops. This volume highlights the use of Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated nuclease proteins as a solution for sustainable agriculture. CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome editing (GE) provides a robust simple precise efficient economical and revolutionary toolbox that leads to improved plant traits with enhanced yield quality and resistance against various stresses including climate-related stress insect pests and diseases pollution-related stresses etc. Key features of the book: Explains the differences between conventional breeding genetically modified crops and genome editing approaches using CRISPR/Cas Introduces the tools of genome editing such as ZFNS (zinc finger nucleases) mega nucleases and TLENS (transcription activator-like effector nucleases) Covers the history origin discovery structure and classification of CRISPR/Cas Examines the databases and computational approaches of CRISPR/Cas Highlights genome editing of important crop plants with CRISPR/Cas systems including wheat maize. tomato Brassica crops rice fruits Explores potential applications of CRISPR/Cas systems for climate smart crops | CRISPR/Cas-Mediated Genome Editing in Plants

Organic Chemistry Structure and Mechanisms

Organic Chemistry Structure and Mechanisms

This title includes a number of Open Access chapters. This book presents a range of research on important topics in the field. Of the approximately 11 million known chemical compounds about 10 million are organic. Organic chemists are currently working to produce better polymers with specific properties such as biodegradable plastics. The understanding of new drug structures from plants and the synthesis of improved pharmaceuticals is another area of great interest. Organic chemists are also researching the reactions that occur in living systems and understanding the molecular causes of disease. | Organic Chemistry Structure and Mechanisms

Sustainable Cities Urban Planning Challenges and Policy

Sustainable Cities Urban Planning Challenges and Policy

This title includes a number of Open Access chapters. Two trends come together in the world’s cities to make urban sustainability a critical issue today. First greater and greater numbers of people are living in urban areas—and are projected to do so for the foreseeable future. Additionally cities contribute to climate change in a significant way and must make systemic changes to mitigate and adapt to climate change effects. Urban planners face serious challenges in enhancing sustainability but also have an important set of tools available for creating innovative solutions. This book adds to the conversation about the place of urban planning in the creation and maintenance of sustainable cities. | Sustainable Cities Urban Planning Challenges and Policy

Urban Ecology Strategies for Green Infrastructure and Land Use

Urban Ecology Strategies for Green Infrastructure and Land Use

This title includes a number of Open Access chapters. With increasing global urbanization the environments and ecologies of cities are often perceived to suffer. While pollution and destruction of green space and species may occur cities also remain part of natural systems. Cities provide natural processes necessary for survival for humans and other living organisms in urban areas. Urban ecology elucidates some of these processes and sheds light on their importance to healthy fulfilling urban livelihoods. Urban Ecology: Strategies for Green Infrastructure and Land Use provides background on issues relating to urban ecology and urban natural processes. The first section covers the types values and recognition of ecosystem services provided by natural processes in urban areas. The second section details the importance and potential of green spaces in urban areas. The third section focuses on biodiversity traits of cities and the ways in which urbanization affects biodiversity indicators. Finally the fourth section covers some of the tools and approaches available for urban planners and designers concerned with improving or maintaining urban environments and the services they provide. This easily accessible reference volume offers a comprehensive guide to this rapidly growing field. Case studies and up-to-date research provide urban planners with new options for creating cities that will meet the demands of the twenty-first century. Also appropriate for graduate students who are preparing for careers related to urban planning this compendium captures and integrates the current work being done in this vitally important field. | Urban Ecology Strategies for Green Infrastructure and Land Use
