Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This book delves into the role of genome editing, including CRISPR/Cas9, ZFNs, and TALENs, in insect pest management. It explores ethical and strategic aspects, including gene drives and the Sterile Insect Technique. This book is intended for researchers and professionals in entomology, genetics, and agricultural science.
MoreLong description:
This book comprehensively reviews the transformative potential of genome editing in insect pest management. The introductory chapter explores the importance of genome sequencing and its role in understanding pest biology and control. The subsequent chapters provide a thorough examination of CRISPR/Cas9 and other genome editing tools, discussing ethical and regulatory aspects. The following chapters introduce precision pest control strategies, including gene drive technologies and enhanced sterile insect techniques, and discuss integrating omics into integrated pest management (IPM) strategies. Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) enhanced with genome editing, its limitations, and various applications in pest control are discussed. The final chapter reviews the challenges, ethical considerations, risk assessment, safety protocols, biosecurity measures, the need for regulatory frameworks, and international cooperation in genome editing for pest management. As such, this book is a valuable source for scientists, researchers, and professionals in the fields of entomology, genetics, and agricultural science.
Key features:
- Explores the role of omics technologies such as genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics for pest management
