Series: Genome Modified Plants and Microbes in Food and Agriculture

Global Regulatory Outlook of CRISPRized Plants summarizes CRISPR/Cas systems and applications for precise editing of plant genomes and discusses global regulatory frameworks for CRISPR edited crops. While CRISPR technology has become a routine, cheap, and efficient method to generate edited crops with superior traits, how these crops are regulated determines the future of this technology. Understanding the current state of regulation, concerns, issues, and foundations for future decisions are key in determining how this technology is used going forward. This important summary will be vital to the successful commercialization of CRISPR technology and biosafety concerns associated with this technology. The book highlights regulatory classification of CRISPR modifications such as SDN1, SDN2 and SDN3 and their global regulation and discusses the social, ethical, governance, and policy issues related to CRISPR edited crops.

Prof. Kamel A. Abd-Elsalam, Ph.D., is currently a research professor at the Plant Pathology Research Institute, Agricultural Research Center, Giza. Kamel earned his Ph.D. in Molecular Plant Pathology from Christian Alberchts University of Kiel (Germany) and Suez Canal University (Egypt). Dr. Kamel’s research interests include developing, improving, and deploying plant biosecurity diagnostic tools; understanding and exploiting fungal pathogen genomes; and developing eco-friendly hybrid nanomaterials for controlling toxicogenic fungi, plant diseases, and agroecosystems applications. He published 20 books related to nano-biotechnology applications in agriculture and plant protection. Since 2019, he has served as the Editor-in-Chief of the Elsevier book series “Nanobiotechnology for Plant Protection. He also serves as the Series Editor of the Elsevier book series “Genome Modified Plants and Microbes in Food and Agriculture. Dr Aftab Ahmad is currently working as Assistant Professor at Department of Biochemistry/ US-Pakistan Center for Advanced Studies in Agriculture and Food Security (CAS-AFS), University of Agriculture, Faisalabad (UAF), Pakistan. Dr Aftab’s research interests include developing virus resistant and salt tolerant plants using CRISPR/Cas technology. He has published more than 15 research articles in international peer reviewed journals including Journal of Biomedical Sciences, Scientific Reports-Nature, PLOS One, Journal of Translational Medicine, Plant Molecular Biology Reporter, Molecules, Journal of Cereal Science, and Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution. Dr Aftab pursued his PhD and postdocs in Plant Molecular Biology from University of Shizuoka, Japan under Center of Excellence (COE, 21st Century) program. Dr Aftab also served as visiting scientist in department of plant sciences, University of California, Davis, USA. Dr Aftab has been teaching biochemistry and molecular biology at UAF and his research focuses in the area of CRISPR/Cas based genome editing in plants.
