Achieving Climate Resilience through Genome Editing Technologies

The global human population is projected to reach about 10 billion by 2050. Keeping it in view, the two worldwide concerns are food security and climate change. Therefore, researchers aim for rapid, sustainable, and environmentally friendly advancements that improve "climate-resiliency" in crops within present agricultural techniques to increase food and nutritional security. As a result, since 2005, several genome-editing tools have been developed. It uses a variety of platforms, including CRISPR/Cas9 and CRISPR/Cpf1 and transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs), zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs), and transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs). The researchers have developed several climate-resilient crops: ease of use, high efficacy, precise changes at loci-of-interest, capacity to find novel features, and quick trait development
