Plant Breeding and Biotechnology

21.5K
Crop cultivation has a long history in human civilization, with records showing the cultivation of cereal plants beginning at around 8000 BC. This early plant breeding was developed primarily to provide a steady supply of food.

Transgenic Plants

8.5K
Recombinant DNA technology called transgenesis is often used to add a foreign gene or remove a detrimental gene from an organism. Such genetically modified organisms are called transgenic organisms.
The first-ever transgenic plant was a tobacco plant developed in 1983 that showed resistance against the tobacco mosaic virus. Since then, many transgenic plants have been developed and commercialized for improving the agricultural, ornamental, and horticultural value of a crop plant. Transgenic...

Summary

Site-directed nucleases (SDN) for genome editing (GE) show growing applications in plant science. However, field trials for GE plants, especially in Europe, are limited due to strict regulations.

Area of Science:

  • Plant biotechnology
  • Agricultural science
  • Molecular biology

Background:

  • Site-directed nucleases (SDN) and genome editing (GE) technologies are rapidly advancing in plant research and breeding.
  • Current research focuses on proof-of-concept studies and enhancing SDN precision and delivery methods.
  • Market-oriented applications are being explored for various crops, including rice and vegetables.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current landscape of genome editing applications in plants.
  • To highlight the scarcity of field trials for GE plants globally, particularly in Europe.
  • To discuss the impact of regulatory frameworks on GE plant deployment.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on site-directed nucleases and genome editing in plants.
  • Analysis of reported field trials involving genome-edited plants worldwide.
  • Examination of regulatory policies concerning genetically engineered plants, with a focus on the European Union.

Main Results:

  • Significant increase in SDN/GE research and development over recent years.
  • Limited number of field trials reported globally, with a concentration in Asia for GE rice.
  • European Union's stringent regulatory environment presents a major barrier to GE plant field trials.

Conclusions:

  • Genome editing offers substantial potential for crop improvement, but regulatory hurdles significantly impede real-world application and field testing.
  • The disparity in regulatory approaches globally impacts the pace of GE crop development and adoption.
  • Further research and policy discussions are needed to facilitate responsible innovation in GE plant technology.
