Abstract
Plant gene editing technology has significantly advanced in recent
years, thereby transforming both biotechnological research and
agricultural practices. This review provides a comprehensive summary of
recent advancements in this rapidly evolving field, showcasing
significant discoveries from improved transformation efficiency to
advanced construct design. The primary focus is on the maturation of the
CRISPR-Cas9 system, which has emerged as a powerful tool for precise
gene editing in plants. Through a detailed exploration, we elucidate the
intricacies of integrating genetic modifications into plant genomes,
shedding light on transport mechanisms, transformation techniques, and
optimization strategies specific to CRISPR constructs. Furthermore, we
explore the initiatives aimed at extending the frontiers of gene editing
to non-model plant species, showcasing the growing scope of this
technology. Overall, this comprehensive review highlights the
significant impact of recent advancements in plant gene editing,
illuminating its transformative potential in driving agricultural
innovation and biotechnological progress.24 Jul 2024Submitted to Biotechnology Journal 26 Jul 2024Submission Checks Completed
