Abstract
Global climate change and adverse abiotic and biotic factors are significantly limiting agricultural productivity, presenting substantial challenges for crop scientists striving to meet the growing global food demand. The primary aim of plant biology research is to enhance food security by increasing crop yields, improving resistance to stresses, and boosting nutrient content. While traditional breeding has successfully produced high-yielding crop varieties, persistent challenges remain. Advanced biotechnological methods, including overexpression, RNA interference, and genome editing, offer promising solutions to these challenges. Innovations like next-generation sequencing, high-throughput genotyping, precision editing, and space technology have accelerated crop improvement programs. Site-specific nucleases such as TALENs and CRISPR/Cas systems have revolutionized biological research by enabling precise genome modifications essential for agriculture. These technologies facilitate targeted genome modifications, allowing for the development of traits crucial for food security and expediting trait development in key crops. The integration of cutting-edge tools and technologies has significantly advanced these strategies, driving the enhancement of crop species. CRISPR/Cas genome-wide screens open new opportunities for discovering and expanding traits vital for food security. This discussion explores the development and application of various site-specific nuclease systems in plant genome engineering, highlighting their potential to precisely enhance traits, thereby increasing crop productivity and resilience against climate change. Cutting-edge genome-editing technologies, particularly CRISPR/Cas systems, are poised to transform the agricultural landscape and play a pivotal role in ensuring future food security. These technologies offer a vision of a future where agriculture can adapt to changing environmental conditions and meet the growing global demand for food. Advances in genetic engineering, gene editing, and synthetic biology drive crop trait modifications, aiming to enhance productivity, improve nutritional quality, and provide resistance to pests, diseases, and environmental stresses. These innovations are essential for securing a sustainable agricultural future and ensuring the global population has access to sufficient, nutritious food.
