Wheat
Wheat is produced on a greater area, grown over a wider geographic range, and traded internationally as a commodity more than any other arable crop. Wheat alone provides 20% of the calories and protein in the global human diet. Understanding the interactions between wheat production, the environment, and human nutrition is essential for meeting the demands of food security as we approach the middle of the 21st century. Wheat: Environment, Food and Health is written by two leading authorities in the field and offers insights into critical issues such as the sustainability of wheat production, the challenges of both mitigating and adapting to environmental change, and the effects of wheat cons...

Engineering Future Crops Through Genome Editing
Crop breeding, a practice dating back to the origins of agriculture, involves modifying plants to suit human needs. Traditional breeding has limitations, including time-consuming processes and labor-intensive efforts. Transgenic methods suffer from a negative public opinion and face substantial regulatory hurdles. In contrast, genome editing is a more effective and versatile approach for trait enhancement, which receives broader acceptance among the public. Particularly, the recently developed CRISPR-Cas based tools allow various programmable modifications in plant genomes. These include creating gene knock-outs by inducing double-stranded breaks, introducing beneficial mutations through mor...
