Abstract
The increasing world population and consumer requirements are driving forces for rice (Oryza sativa L.) breeding programs worldwide. The development of novel cultivars is challenged by the necessity of combining high yield and superior quality traits, in a timely manner. Precision breeding strategies, such as genetic engineering and genome editing, are important tools to accelerate and improve conventional breeding. However, successful gene delivery is dependent on several biological factors underlying plant regeneration and trait expression. In this chapter, we present and discuss the available systems for gene delivery, used in conventional transformation and genome editing of rice, and the regeneration pathways employed in the production of whole plants expressing the novel phenotypes associated to grain quality. The interaction between the gene delivery system and its biological target in recovering transformed and/or edited plants is also discussed.
