Overview

Based on the understanding that tolerance to pest pressure increases with less crop stress, this book covers all aspects of the molecular mechanisms underlying insect resistance in field crops.

Content and Features

Detailed descriptions, accompanied by numerous photographs and schematic drawings, are available for hot topics such as genetically engineered crops, CRISPR/Cas9 system, insect pest resistance technology, host plant resistance, and other major breakthroughs.

Case Studies

Specific case studies include, but are not limited to, the use of insect resistant cultivars in IPMT programs, utilization of glucosinolate-myrosinase processes in oilseed crops, and the role of genetics in rice breeding technology.
