ABOUT BOOK

Despite the conspicuous and rapid development of genome editing tools, implementing this technology in plants often remains constrained by our inability to regenerate fertile genome-modified plants. Finding a viable combination of delivery method, genome editing reagents, and plant regeneration system has often been both crop-specific and crop-limited. Recent progress using morphogenic genes such as Wuschel2 (Wus2) and Babyboom (Bbm) has alleviated some of these crop-specific challenges, and along with other improvements, continues to expand the range of plants that can be edited.
