Plant Breeding and Biotechnology

20.3K
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.

CRISPR

53.5K
Genome editing technologies allow scientists to modify an organism’s DNA via the addition, removal, or rearrangement of genetic material at specific genomic locations. These types of techniques could potentially be used to cure genetic disorders such as hemophilia and sickle cell anemia. One popular and widely used DNA-editing research tool that could lead to safe and effective cures for genetic disorders is the CRISPR-Cas9 system. CRISPR-Cas9 stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced...

Transgenic Plants

7.8K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Agricultural Science
  • Biotechnology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • CRISPR/Cas genome editing is advancing crop traits like productivity and climate resilience.
  • Focus remains on technical improvements in cocoa, coffee, and citrus.
  • Socioeconomic impacts on farmers are largely unaddressed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the socioeconomic consequences for farmers when genome-edited crop varieties are deployed.
  • To propose a framework for evaluating and mitigating negative socioeconomic effects.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on CRISPR/Cas applications in agriculture.
  • Socioeconomic impact assessment frameworks.
  • Case study analysis of technology adoption in farming.

Main Results:

  • Current CRISPR/Cas research prioritizes technical gains over farmer welfare.
  • Lack of frameworks for assessing socioeconomic risks of gene editing in crops.
  • Potential for exacerbating existing inequalities among farmers.

Conclusions:

  • A holistic approach is needed, integrating socioeconomic considerations into genome editing research and deployment.
  • Policy and support systems are crucial for equitable farmer benefit from gene-edited crops.
  • Further research should focus on developing practical socioeconomic impact assessment tools for agricultural biotechnology.
