Evolution of weed resistance to herbicides on account of their continuous use has become a challenging issue in global agriculture. Besides, some herbicides, both selective and non-selective, cannot be used because of crop toxicity. The discovery of herbicides with new action mechanisms has become scarce over the last 20 years. These problems are sought to be mitigated via transgenic engineering in which genes-from non-plant sources or within the plant kingdom-that encode herbicide resistance traits are transferred into the target plant´s genome. Using this technology, scores of crops have been engineered to develop hundreds of varieties resistant to herbicides, insects, pathogens, and abiotic stresses.
This book elucidates the basic principles of herbicide resistance and transgenic engineering besides a detailed discussion on the current status of transgenes used to engineer herbicide resistance in crops, and development of herbicide-resistant events and stacked lines/hybrids. It also discusses the global adoption and regulation of transgenic crops while detailing the ways transgenics have benefited the global community and discussing the various risks and issues that affect both farmers aand consumers. Additionally, the role of transgenic technology in phytoremediation of soils and environment from organic contaminants including herbicides, explosives, etc. is also presented. |
