CRISPR-Mediated Gene Editing in Plants

CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing technology has become a revolutionary tool in the life sciences, providing efficient, rapid, and inexpensive genetic manipulation tools for basic botanical research and crop genetic improvement. Genetic manipulations such as precise knock-out and knock-in can be achieved using the CRISPR/Cas9 system, which can also be used to target activation or repression of gene expression. While CRISPR/Cas9 is widely used for genome editing, its editing capability, efficiency, and precision are constantly being improved and refined. In particular, the discovery of the CRISPR/Cpf1 system and the creation of single-base editing technology are gradually making the CRISPR system an ideal technological platform for genetic engineering. In addition, crop varieties improved by CRISPR/Cas9 technology have emerged, which will certainly promote the application and development of precision genome editing technology in crop genetic improvement.
