Key Applications of CRISPR/Cas for Yield and Nutritional Improvement

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
CRISPR Crops

Abstract

The ever-growing human population and climate shifts are creating a dire need to the development of crop plants with high yield and improved nutritional quality. Conventional breeding tools cannot satisfy the future needs. Increased agricultural production through advanced technologies is urgently required to increase yield and easy access to nutritious food worldwide. Providentially, next-generation genome editing technologies like CRISPR/Cas system pave the way toward a new horizon for crop plant improvement and subsequently transform classical plant breeding. In this chapter, applications of CRISPR/Cas-based genome editing for yield and quality improvement are highlighted.
