GM crops for plant virus resistance: A review. 330 $aGenetic transformation is a key technology, in which genes are transferred from one organism to another in order to improve agronomic traits and ultimately help humans. However, there is concern in some quarters that genetically modified crops may disturb the ecosystem. A number of non-governmental organizations continue to protest against GM crops and foods, despite the fact that many organisms are genetically modified naturally in the course of evolution. In this context, there is a need to educate the public about the importance of GM crops in terms of food and nutritional security. This book provides an overview of various crop plants where genetic transformation has been successfully implemented to improve their agronomically useful traits. It includes information on the gene(s) transferred, the method of gene transfer and the beneficial effects of these gene transfers and the agronomic improvements compared to the wild plants. Further, it discusses the commercial prospects of these GM crops as well as the associated challenges. Given its scope, this book is a valuable resource for agricultural and horticultural scientists/experts wanting to explain to the public, politicians and non-governmental organizations the details of GM crops and how they can improve crops and the lives of farmers. It also appeals to researchers and postgraduate students. This volume focuses on the transgenics of mungbean, cowpea, chickpea, cotton, mulberrry, Jatropha, fingermillet, papaya, citrus plants and cassava. It also discusses CRISPR edited lines. . 606 $aPlant genetics 606 $aPlant biotechnology 606 $aBotanical chemistry 606 $aPlant physiology 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aBiomaterials 606 $aNucleic acids 606 $aPlant Genetics 606 $aPlant Biotechnology 606 $aPlant Biochemistry 606 $aPlant Physiology 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aNucleic Acid 615 0$aPlant genetics. 615 0$aPlant biotechnology. 615 0$aBotanical chemistry. 615 0$aPlant physiology. 615 0$aAgriculture. 615 0$aBiomaterials. 615 0$aNucleic acids. 615 14$aPlant Genetics. 615 24$aPlant Biotechnology. 615 24$aPlant Biochemistry. 615 24$aPlant Physiology. 615 24$aAgriculture. 615 24$aNucleic Acid. 676 $a581.15 702 $aKishor$b P.
