DOWNLOAD EBOOKPlants are vulnerable to pathogens including fungi, bacteria, and viruses, which cause critical problems and deficits. Crop protection by plant breeding delivers a promising solution with no obvious effect on human health or the local ecosystem. Crop improvement has been the most powerful approach for producing unique crop cultivars since domestication occurred, making possible the main innovations in feeding the globe and community development. Genome editing is one of the genetic devices that can be implemented, and disease resistance is frequently cited as the most encouraging application of CRISPR/Cas9 technology in agriculture. Nanobiotechnology has harnessed the power of genome editing to develop agricultural crops. Nanosized DNA or RNA nanotechnology approaches could contribute to raising the stability and performance of CRISPR guide RNAs. This book brings together the latest research in these areas. CRISPR and RNAi Systems: Nanobiotechnology Approaches to Plant Breeding and Protection presents a complete understanding of the RNAi and CRISPR/Cas9 techniques for controlling mycotoxins, fighting plant nematodes, and detecting plant pathogens. CRISPR/Cas genome editing enables efficient targeted modification in most crops, thus promising to accelerate crop improvement. CRISPR/Cas9 can be used for management of plant insects, and various plant pathogens. The book is an important reference source for both plant scientists and environmental scientists who want to understand how nano biotechnologically based approaches are being used to create more efficient plant protection and plant breeding systems. Shows how nanotechnology is being used as the basis for new solutions for more efficient plant breeding and plant protection Outlines the major techniques and applications of both CRISPR and RNAi technologies Assesses the major challenges of escalating these technologies on a mass scale

DOWNLOAD EBOOKRNA interference (RNAi), one of the most exciting discoveries of the last decade, is also known as Post-Transcriptional Gene Silencing (PTGS). It is a conserved host defense response via double-stranded RNA against both endogenous and foreign nucleic acids, and occurs at the levels of transcription, post-transcription and translation. RNA induced gene silencing has been used, with considerable success as a reverse genetics tool for the study of gene function. This technology has revolutionized the gene expression analysis studies because of the specificity and speed it offers. The small RNA molecules central to RNAi are microRNA (miRNA) and small interfering RNA (siRNA). These molecules bind to other RNAs specifically, such as messenger RNA (mRNA), to regulate their activities.In this book, we will discuss how gene silencing methodology has been successfully applied as therapeutic tool against metabolic disorders, cancer, and infectious diseases. This tool has also been successfully used to improve crops resistance against plant pathogens. In contrast to conventional knock-out mutagenesis techniques, the "gene-silencing" vectors, that allow the study of functions of genes whose complete knock-out would otherwise be lethal to the plant.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKRNA Interference (RNAi) technology has rapidly become one of the key methods used in functional genomics. RNAi is used to block the expression of genes and create phenotypes that can potentially yield clues about the function of these genes. In the postgenomic era, the elucidation of the physiological function of genes has become the rate-limiting step in the quest to develop 'gene-based drugs' and RNAi could potentially play a pivotal role in the validation of such novel drugs. In this overview, the basic concepts and applications of RNAi biology are discussed. Leading experts from both academia and industry have contributed to this invaluable reference. The volume is forwarded by Andrew Fire, one of the winners of the 2006 Nobel Prize for the discovery of RNA Interference.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book offers a comprehensive guide to the identification, detection, characterization, classification and management of plant pathogens and other beneficial microbes in agriculture. The science of plant pathology is a dynamic field and, given the growing interest in sustainable agricultural practices, plant disease management has also gained importance. Further, there has been a shift from traditional chemical-based methods to eco-friendly integrated disease management strategies with a greater focus on bio-control and other eco-friendly technologies. This book provides a comprehensive and timely account of latest concepts and advances in the field of plant pathology, including detection and diagnosis, host resistance, disease forecasting and plant biotechnological approaches. Accordingly, it will be of great interest to academics and all stakeholders working in the fields of plant pathology, microbiology, biotechnology, plant breeding, and other life sciences.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKRNA technologies are the driving forces of modern medicine and biotechnology. They combine the fields of biochemistry, chemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, physics, nanotechnology and bioinformatics. The combination of these topics is set to revolutionize the medicine of tomorrow. After more than 15 years of extensive research in the field of RNA technologies, the first therapeutics are ready to reach the first patients. Thus we are witnessing the birth of a very exciting time in the development of molecular medicine, which will be based on the methods of RNA technologies. This volume is the first of a series. It covers various aspects of RNA interference and microRNAs, although antisense RNA applications, hammerhead ribozyme structure and function as well as non-coding RNAs are also discussed. The authors are internationally highly respected experts in the field of RNA technologies.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis work focuses on practical approaches to and uses of a revolutionary technology called RNAi for RNA interference. A recently developed research tool, this process allows scientists to knock out or knock down the levels of a gene product, shut off targeted genes in an organism, and then monitor the results within that organism. Leading academic and biotechnology researchers in various fields that utilize this process introduce and explain a specific model system and use of RNA interference as well as necessary background information. Tools for the Arabidopsis, Caenrhabditis, and Drosophila model organism systems are offered, as is an overview of siRNA design and RNA transfection processes in mammalian cells. A discussion of chemical and enzymatic synthesis and preparation of siRNA in vitro is also included.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe enormous potential of siRNA as a therapeutic has led to an explosion of interest from the scientific community. There has been intense interest from Big Pharma to capitalise on this new technology but the fact remains that delivery is a key determinant in realizing the full clinical potential of RNA interference. There is an urgent need for better delivery methods to take this technology forward. This book addresses the role of different RNAi molecules in cellular processes as rational for diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. This book will cover RNAi therapeutic design to optimize siRNA potency and reduce off-target effects and current delivery technologies to overcome both intracellular and extracellular barriers. The reader will gain an insight into RNA interference from the cellular mechanisms to screening to siRNA design right through to diagnostic and therapeutic applications.
