Abstract
Genome editing involves modifying the genetic makeup of a living organism through actions such as insertions, deletions, and alterations within its genome. Utilizing cutting-edge technologies like ZFN, TALEN, and CRISPR systems, scientists can precisely manipulate specific regions of the genome to achieve desired traits. In plants, gene editing techniques are employed to enhance quality, increase yield, and confer resistance to diseases and stress. While there are concerns regarding biosecurity, genome editing holds immense potential in addressing food security challenges posed by a growing global population. This article explores the operational principles of advanced genome editing methods, their applications in plant breeding, biosecurity issues surrounding modified plants, and the regulatory frameworks implemented by various states.
