Book Title: Genome Editing for Crop Improvement

Editor: Dr. Muhammad Waseem

Publisher: Apple Academic Press (AAP)

Description:

This book systematically introduces the principles, methods, and applications of modern gene editing technology in crop improvement. From foundational tools like the CRISPR/Cas system to the in-depth integration of multi-omics technologies and precision breeding strategies, readers will gain a comprehensive understanding of the relevant knowledge. Through real-world cases, this book not only demonstrates the successful practice of gene editing in enhancing crop stress resistance, improving nutritional quality, and achieving sustainable agriculture, but also guides readers through understanding the relevant regulations and ethical issues. Whether researchers, graduate students, or agricultural technicians, this book can provide comprehensive knowledge and practical experience from laboratory research to field application.

Guidelines for abstract submission

Abstract requirements: It should be concise, three to five sentences, and no more than 150 words. Avoid personal pronouns and use the impersonal voice: for example, "this chapter explores" is better than "in this chapter, I explore". The chapter titles do not need to be repeated in the chapter abstracts. 
After the acceptance of the complete chapter, the contributor contract will be provided.

Let me know if you have any further questions.
