Gene-edited crops involve using precise genetic engineering techniques to modify a plant’s DNA, typically through CRISPR technology, without introducing foreign DNA. This allows for the development of crops with desired characteristics such as improved flavor, extended shelf life, or enhanced disease resistance.
Improving crop quality, extending shelf life, and increasing disease resistance in plants through precise genetic modifications.
CRISPR-Cas9 is used to make targeted edits to specific genes within the plant's genome. These edits can turn off (knock out) or modify existing genes without adding foreign DNA from other organisms.
The manufacturing process involves designing CRISPR sequences to target specific genes, transforming plant cells with these sequences, and then screening for successful edits. Edited lines are field-trialled before being advanced toward commercialization.
1. Gene design: Identify the gene(s) of interest. 2. CRISPR construction: Design guide RNA (gRNA) to target specific DNA sequences. 3. Transformation: Introduce CRISPR-Cas9 system into plant cells using methods like Agrobacterium-mediated transformation or biolistic particle delivery. 4. Screening and selection: Identify edited plants through molecular markers and phenotypic analysis.
