Abstract

CRISPR-Cas9 technology has emerged as a powerful tool for precise genome editing, revolutionizing various fields including plant biology. This abstract explores the impact of CRISPR-Cas9 on plant biology, focusing on its applications, challenges, and prospects. The versatility of CRISPR-Cas9 enables targeted modifications in plant genomes, facilitating crop improvement, nutritional enhancement, environmental adaptation, and bioremediation. By editing specific genes associated with desired traits, researchers can develop crops with increased yields, resistance to pests and diseases, and enhanced nutritional content. Moreover, CRISPR-Cas9 offers opportunities to engineer plants capable of thriving in changing environmental conditions and participating in environmental efforts. Despite its immense potential, CRISPR-Cas9 technology raises ethical, regulatory, and safety concerns. Addressing issues related to GMOs, environmental impacts, and off-target effects is crucial for the responsible and sustainable application of gene editing in plant biology, CRISPR-Cas9 technology holds promise for transforming agriculture and addressing global food security challenges. By navigating ethical and regulatory frameworks, researchers can harness its potential to create resilient, nutritious, and environmentally sustainable crops for future generations.
