genome-editing
Genome editing is a precise genetic engineering technique that uses programmable molecular tools to target and modify specific DNA sequences within an organism's genome. In plant science, genome editing accelerates crop improvement by enabling researchers to efficiently develop plants with enhanced traits such as disease resistance, improved nutritional content, and climate resilience—improvements that would take years or decades to achieve through traditional breeding. This technology is fundamental to advancing agricultural innovation and addressing global challenges in food security and sustainable farming.
