The Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)-Cas 9 (CRISPR-associated protein 9) is a robust DNA-encoded, RNA-mediated sequence-specific nuclease system widely used for genome editing of various plants. Although there are many reports on the assembly of gRNAs and plant transformation, there is no single resource for the complete gene editing methodology in tomato. This chapter provides a comprehensive protocol for designing gRNAs, their assembly into the vector, plant transformation, and final mutant analysis in tomato.

Transgenic Plants
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...
