Advances in biotechnology transform the way plants develop and improve, making gene editing an important tool in modern agriculture. Gene-edited plants are created by changes to an organism's DNA, enhancing traits like yield, nutritional value, pest resistance, and environmental adaptability. As these innovations spread, they raise important scientific, ethical, economic, and regulatory questions about their impact on society. Understanding the foundations of gene-edited plants and the broader societal considerations surrounding their use may reveal their potential benefits, risks, and future role in addressing global challenges. Foundations and Societal Considerations of Gene-Edited Plants explores the scientific principles, techniques, and applications of gene editing in plants, including how specific genetic modifications improve agricultural traits and crop performance. It examines the broader societal implications of gene-edited plants, and the potential benefits and risks associated with their adoption. This book covers topics such as botany, plant biology, and sustainable agriculture, and is a useful resource for biologists, engineers, sociologists, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
