Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global Regulatory Outlook of CRISPRized Plants summarizes CRISPR/Cas systems and applications for precise editing of plant genomes and discusses the global regulatory framework for CRISPR edited crops. While CRISPR technology has become a routine, cheap and an efficient method to generate edited crops with superior traits, how these crops will be regulated, will determine the future of this technology. Understanding the current state of regulation, the concerns, issues and foundations for decisions will be key in determining how this technology is used going forward. Global Regulatory Outlook of CRISPRized Plants 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. This important summary will be vital to the successful commercialization of CRISPR technology and biosafety concerns associated with this technology. Presents regulatory frameworks for CRISPR edited crops in the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, Japan, EU, Africa, and Asia Includes a specific chapter on global regulation of genetically engineered crops Addresses public perception, social aspects, and ethical concerns that are impacting the commercialization of CRISPR edited crops
