CRISPR-Cas9 as a Revolutionary Gene Editing Tool: Genome Engineering, Advances and Applications in Agriculture
暫譯: CRISPR-Cas9作為革命性的基因編輯工具：基因組工程、進展與在農業中的應用

本書突顯了CRISPR-Cas9在現代農業中的變革性影響。它解釋了這種精確且高效的基因編輯技術如何增強作物對生物壓力（如害蟲、病原體和病毒）以及非生物壓力（如乾旱、鹽鹼、熱和寒冷）的抵抗力。通過針對負責植物防禦和壓力反應的關鍵基因，CRISPR使得開發高產、氣候韌性的作物成為可能。本書強調了CRISPR的簡單性、成本效益以及改善全球糧食安全的潛力，使其成為可持續農業生物技術的基石。
