New Perspective: "The future of genome editing in plants" rdcu.be/ef8aa

Genome editing will mimic the natural evolutionary processes that shape genomes; will be used to reshape genomes in a manner that could have happened naturally, but more precisely and more rapidly.

CRISPR–Cas applications in agriculture and plant research - Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology CRISPR–Cas-mediated genome, epigenome and transcriptome engineering in crops is crucial as the human population grows and climate deteriorates. This Review discusses new CRISPR–Cas tools for precise e...

Can a nitrogen-fixing organelle be engineered within plants? Given that crop yields are strongly limited by nitrogen, engineering crop plants with self-nitrogen-fertilization capacity holds great promise for sustainable agriculture. Recently, a nitrogen-fixing ...

Engineering a nitrogen-fixing organelle into the non–nitrogen-fixing crops could benefit both environmental sustainability and global food security.
