"Creating Future People offers readers a fast-paced primer on how new genetic technologies will enable parents to influence the traits of their children, including their intelligence, moral capacities, physical appearances, and immune systems. It deftly explains the science of gene editing and embryo selection, and raises the central moral questions with colorful language and a brisk style. Jonathan Anomaly takes seriously the diversity of preferences parents have, and the limits policymakers face in regulating what could soon be a global market for reproductive technology. He argues that once embryo selection for complex traits happens it will change the moral landscape by altering the incentives available to parents. All of us will take an interest in the traits everyone else selects, and this will present coordination problems that previous writers on genetic enhancement have failed to consider. Anomaly navigates difficult ethical issues with vivid language and scientifically-informed speculation about how genetic engineering will transform humanity. Key Features: Offers clear explanations of scientific concepts Explores important moral questions without academic jargon Brings discoveries from different fields together to give us a sense of where humanity is headed"--

La biotechnologie fait désormais partie de notre vie quotidienne, pour le meilleur et pour le pire. Clonages, thérapies géniques, organismes génétiquement modifiés, bébés sur mesure... Les enjeux de cette nouvelle science sont porteurs des pires craintes comme des plus grands espoirs. Faut-il donner foi aux promesses de vie meilleure ou aux prédictions de dérives catastrophiques ? Pour répondre à ce problème complexe Jeremy Rifkin propose un tour d'horizon exhaustif et critique des nouveaux produits et procédés issus des extraordinaires découvertes de la biotechnologie, en pesant leurs inévitables conséquences sur l'humanité et l'environnement. Vivrons-nous demain dans un monde de chimères, de créatures clonées, de plantes monstrueuses et de « chimpanzhommes » ? L'abolition des frontières entre espèces végétales, animales et humaines sera-t-elle comme une « nouvelle genèse » ? A l'origine d'un tel scénario, Jeremy Rifkin place la révolution biotechnologique que nous serions en train de vivre : potentiellement, l'identification du code génétique des espèces animales et végétales et l'établissement d'une cartographie des 100 000 gènes composant le génome humain ouvrent la voie à la recombinaison de ces gènes et à la fabrication industrielle de la vie. Sans nier l'énorme apport en matière de santé, J. Rifkin entend surtout dénoncer le danger mortel d'un usage mercantile de la matière vivante. Déjà, certaines multinationales ont déposé des brevets sur des organismes génétiquement modifiés. Assistera-t-on au brevetage, gène par gène, du génome humain ? Verra-t-on son contrôle devenir la quasi-exclusivité de quelques géants de l'industrie pharmaceutique ? L'auteur nous met aussi en garde contre le risque d'une pollution génétique de grande ampleur provoquant la diffusion dans la nature d'espèces modifiées qui rompraient l'équilibre fragile de l'écosystème terrestre. J. Rifkin s'inquiète enfin de la dérive possible vers un nouvel eugénisme, fondé sur la distinction entre les bons et les mauvais gènes : au nom de la santé des individus, suc-comberons-nous à la tentation de créer l'homme parfait, oeuvre d'art de l'ingénierie génétique ? Catégoriserons-nous des individus, des groupes ethniques, en fonction de leurs supposées « erreurs génétiques » ?Documenté, explicatif, mais aussi très polémique, ce nouvel ouvrage de J. Rifkin est avant tout une mise en garde dissuasive contre les pires tentations de la révolution génétique. L'auteur, pour autant, ne se place pas du côté des critiques systématiques de la science et de la modernité : il admet sans discuter que la biologie moderne est une source de soulagement immense pour l'homme, et qu'il faut donc séparer le bon grain de l'ivraie.

To meet the global food demand of an increasing population, food production has to be increased by 60% by 2050. The main production constraints, such as climate change, biotic stresses, abiotic stresses, soil nutrition deficiency problems, problematic soils, etc., have to be addressed on an urgent basis. More than 50% of human calories are from three major cereals: rice, wheat, and maize. The harnessing of genetic diversity by novel allele mining assisted by recent advances in biotechnological and bioinformatics tools will enhance the utilization of the hidden treasures in the gene bank. Technological advances in plant breeding will provide some solutions for the biofortification, stress resistance, yield potential, and quality improvement in staple crops. The elucidation of the genetic, physiological, and molecular basis of useful traits and the improvement of the improved donors containing multiple traits are key activities for variety development. High-throughput genotyping systems assisted by bioinformatics and data science provide efficient and easy tools for geneticists and breeders. Recently, new breeding techniques applied in some food crops have become game-changers in the global food crop market. With this background, we invited 18 eminent researchers working on food crops from across the world to contribute their high-quality original research manuscripts. The research studies covered modern food crop genetics and breeding.
