CRISPR-Cas Genome Editing for Horticultural Crops Improvement: Advantages and Prospects

Horticultural plants, in particular fruit trees, berry crops, and ornamentals, are valuable objects for studying their genetic biochemical properties. Along with traditional methods of these modern molecular technologies emerging, genome editing using CRISPR/Cas9 nucleases. In this review, we have analyzed advances horticultural plants. To date, it has become possible to improve many plant characteristics technology, e.g., making plants resistant biotic abiotic stress factors, changing the time flowering ripening, growth as well taste properties fruits. been successfully carried out Dozens genes from modified by means technology. We considered main ways delivering constructs limitations that complicate target genes. The article reviews prospects important humans.
