CRISPR/Cas enables a targeted modification of DNA sequences. Despite their ease and
efficient use, one limitation is the potential occurrence of associated off-target effects. This …

Indigenous communities across the globe, especially in rural areas, consume locally
available plants known as Traditional Food Plants (TFPs) for their nutritional and health …

Genome editing aims to revolutionise plant breeding and could assist in safeguarding the
global food supply. The inclusion of a 12–40 bp recognition site makes mega nucleases the …

Weeds have continually interrupted crop plants since their domestication, leading to a
greater yield loss compared to diseases and pests that necessitated the practice of weed …

Genome editing holds the potential for rapid crop improvement to meet the challenge of
feeding the planet in a changing climate. The delivery of gene editing reagents into the plant …

Mutations are the basis of all genetic variation, and classical plant breeding has exploited
the power of natural mutations in the development of high-yielding varieties. Since the …

Worldwide, citrus is one of the most important fruit crops and is grown in more than 130
countries, predominantly in tropical and subtropical areas. The healthy progress of the citrus …

Due to the economic and ecological importance of forest trees, modern breeding and
genetic manipulation of forest trees have become increasingly prevalent. The CRISPR …

In this review article we analyze the economics of genome editing and its potential long‐
term effect on crop improvement and agriculture. We describe the emergence of genome …

The adoption of genome editing depends among others, on a clear and navigable
regulatory framework that renders consistent decisions. Some countries like the United …
