Genome Editing for Crop Improvement

Over the last few decades, the agricultural land is decreasing continuously with concurrent rise in human population. Therefore, ensuring food security for all is a major challenge. Therefore, to assist the classical plant improvement interventions, there is an urgent need to develop new methods to improve the crops in a faster, ecologically safer and in a more precise way. There has been a fairly large number of tools available for the targeting and precise editing of plant genomes. In thi...
