About half of the world population is suffering from nutritional deficiency, which is due to either improper diet uptake, or non-availability and unaffordability of balanced nutritive food. Therefore, nutritional enrichment of common food items has been of wide interest to fulfil the demand of nutritional deficiency. For instance, development of carotenoids-rich banana and tomato, and iron-rich rice and wheat has been proposed to solve major issues of vitamin A deficiency and anaemia. Further, the distribution of important mineral elements in grains is also a major challenge for their bioavailability.
Genome Engineering for Nutritional Inprovement in Crops will take into account the progress made in managing nutritional deficiency, and compile the recent knowledge and development of diverse aspects including mineral and nutrients localization, genome engineering for mobilization and increasing bioavailability of nutrients, development of carotenoids and flavonoids rich crops by metabolic engineering, zero calorie potato, allergen free grains, and engineering for nutritional improvement of various crop plants. This book will serve as an important repository for students, academics, researchers and scientists to augment their understanding and knowledge of the application of genome engineering tools in the area of crop improvement.
