Abstract:
Traditional breeding techniques are proven, but additional knowledge learned from genome sequencing provides vast new data that might help identify gene targets for improving cotton sustainability. CRISPR/Cas9 provides a powerful tool for precision cotton breeding. Here, we discuss the opportunities and challenges of genome sequencing and editing for cotton improvement.
