Genome-edited Camelina sativa with a unique fatty acid content and its potential impact on ecosystems

Abstract ‘Genome editing’ is intended to accelerate modern plant breeding enabling a much faster and more efficient development of crops with improved traits such as increased yield, altered nutritional composition, well resistance factors biotic abiotic stress. These are often generated by site-directed nuclease-1 (SDN-1) applications that induce small, targeted changes in the genomes. alterations can be combined way generate plants genomes on larger scale than it possible conventional techniques. The power potential genome editing comes from its highly effective mode action being able different allelic combinations genes, creating, at most efficient, homozygous gene knockouts. Additionally, multiple copies functional genes all once. This especially relevant polyploid Camelina sativa which contain complex chromosome sets. Intended induced have unintentionally alter composition and/or interfere metabolism, e.g., biosynthesis secondary metabolites phytohormones or other biomolecules. could affect diverse defense mechanisms inter-/intra-specific communication having direct impact associated ecosystems. review focuses mediated SDN-1 applications, generation novel genotypes ecological effects emerging these alterations.
