A Roadmap for Plant Genome Editing (E-Book)
Abstract Crop improvement has been a long-standing focus of agricultural research, aiming to enhance nutritional richness, aroma, visual appeal, and yield to meet the growing global food demand. Recent advances in molecular biology and genetic engineering, particularly genome editing, offer precise and targeted tools for modifying crop genomes. Traditional plant breeding methods, while successful in the past, are time-consuming, and techniques like mutagenesis and transgenesis have limitations. Genome editing techniques provide unprecedented precision and enable scientists to make desired modiÂcations to a plant’s DNA. This chapter explores the role of genome editing, speciÂcally in gene families, for crop improve- ment, highlighting its potential beneÂts and challenges.
