Description
Lixia Zhou and four co-authors review gene editing for tropical crops in a paper from twenty twenty-four. China grows many tropical crops, such as oil palm, rubber, banana, sugarcane, cassava, and papaya. These crops supply key goods, but breeding them the old way is slow.
Traits like many chromosome sets, mixed genes, and long youth phases block fast progress. CRISPR Cas9 editing can change a chosen gene directly, which may speed breeding a lot. The review sums up current uses of the method in major tropical crops and looks at what may come next. It also notes limits that still need work before farm gains are wide.
