This foundational text is a valuable resource for entomologists with limited training in molecular genetics, and will be an ideal source for pest control advisors who need to understand the vocabulary and methods that are used to solve entomological issues.
- Contains a new chapter on CRISPR-CAS and the basic biology of these systems related to arthropods
- Includes new and updated methods and examples of insect gene modification, along with discussions of regulatory and ethical issues
- Offers compiled and comprehensive terminology at the introductory level
- Illustrated with diagrams and tables to further explain key topics and concepts
Zielgruppe
<p>Entomologists, cooperative extension agents, regulatory officials in government, pest control advisors; graduate students in entomology</p>
