RNAi is being developed and exploited both within plants (i.e. host-induced gene silencing, HIGS) and/or as topical applications (e.g. spray-induced gene silencing, SIGS) for targeting pest and pathogen genes and for manipulating endogenous gene expression in plants. Chapters by international experts review current knowledge on RNAi, methods for developing RNAi systems in GM plants and applications for crop improvement, crop production and crop protection. Chapters examine both endogenous systems in GM plants and exogenous systems where interfering RNAs are applied to target plants, pests and pathogens. The biosafety of these different systems is examined and methods for risk assessment for food, feed and environmental safety are discussed. Finally, aspects of the regulation of technologies exploiting RNAi and the socio-economic impacts of RNAi technologies are discussed.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 244mmItem Length: 172mmItem Width: 15mmItem Weight: 668gContributor: Bruno Mezzetti (Edited by), Jeremy Sweet (Edited by), Lorenzo Burgos (Edited by)Author: Bruno MezzettiGenre: Science Nature & MathRelease Year: 2021 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
