CRISPR/Cas9 Mediated Genome Engineering for Improvement of Horticultural Crops
Horticultural crops are an important part of agriculture for food as well as nutritional security. However, several pests and diseases along with adverse abiotic environmental factors pose a severe threat to these crops by affecting their quality and productivity. This warrants the effective and accelerated breeding programs by utilizing innovative biotechnological tools that can tackle aforeme...
متن کاملGene Editing and Crop Improvement Using CRISPR-Cas9 System
Advancements in Genome editing technologies have revolutionized the fields of functional genomics and crop improvement. CRISPR/Cas9 (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat)-Cas9 is a multipurpose technology for genetic engineering that relies on the complementarity of the guideRNA (gRNA) to a specific sequence and the Cas9 endonuclease activity. It has broadened the agricultur...
متن کاملEducation of the Next Generation of Plant Breeders for Horticultural Crop Improvement
Crop improvement powered through plant breeding is critical for sustainable production of horticultural crops that contribute to healthful diets and enhance quality of life for people around the world. Currently there are too few breeders to satisfy global demands and opportunities in the public and private sectors of developing and developed countries. In order to meet future needs, it is impo...
متن کاملAdvancing Crop Transformation in the Era of Genome Editing.
Plant transformation has enabled fundamental insights into plant biology and revolutionized commercial agriculture. Unfortunately, for most crops, transformation and regeneration remain arduous even after more than 30 years of technological advances. Genome editing provides novel opportunities to enhance crop productivity but relies on genetic transformation and plant regeneration, which are bo...
متن کاملRetractions: Crop improvement through modification of the plant's own genome.
Plant genetic engineering has, until now, relied on the incorporation of foreign DNA into plant genomes. Public concern about the extent to which transgenic crops differ from their traditionally bred counterparts has resulted in molecular strategies and gene choices that limit, but not eliminate, the introduction of foreign DNA. Here, we demonstrate that a plant-derived (P-) DNA fragment can be...
