Genome editing is a technique in which DNA is inserted, deleted or replaced in a genome of any organism using genome editing tools. It could be used vastly to edit genome of any organism. By modifying genome of an organism we can manipulate the crop growth features in accordance with our major purposes as are increasing the production, eliminating the unfavourable traits and improving its resistance to various biotic and abiotic stressors. Although GM crops have achieved great success in supplementing crop breeding, but this technique confronts some technical challenges as it’s expensive and due to possible unpredictable negative impacts on environment and human food safety concerns as well, opposition against them grows exponentially. Further, plant breeders are frequently employing mutation breeding using mutant generators, radiation (gamma rays or fast neutron) or chemical (ethyl methane sulfonate or EMS) treatment to accelerate crop improvement process. This mutagenic breeding technique expose plants
