Description
Chong Teng highlights in 2024 a soybean gene-editing method that edits plants without leaving transgenes behind. Classic CRISPR delivery stitches the editing machinery into the plant genome, which brands the crop as genetically modified in many countries and slows breeding. It also demands tissue culture steps that many varieties resist.
The spotlighted approach delivers preassembled editing complexes directly, so no foreign DNA integrates. Edited, transgene-free plants can be recovered without long screens for lost markers. Teng frames the advance as killing two birds with one stone: precise edits plus a cleaner regulatory path. Such delivery tricks could widen gene editing to crops and varieties that transformation pipelines have left behind.
