Abstract
The ever-increasing population, combined with the agriculture sector's ongoing challenges, necessitates the use of plant genome modifying technologies to improve nutritional quality as well as crop yields. In this regard, the CRISPR/Cas system has evolved into a game-changing genetic modification technique for increasing crop yield and pest resistance in a variety of agricultural crops. In prokaryotes, the CRISPR/Cas system serves as a line of defense against pathogens. In the genetic engineering system, the protein Cas9 endonuclease and a guide RNA reaches the target site and modifies the target gene. This review focuses on the CRISPR/Cas9 system's action pathway, recent advancements, applications, and future prospects in redesigning the plant genome for crop improvement.

期刊介绍:
Plant Gene publishes papers that focus on the regulation, expression, function and evolution of genes in plants, algae and other photosynthesizing organisms (e.g., cyanobacteria), and plant-associated microorganisms. Plant Gene strives to be a diverse plant journal and topics in multiple fields will be considered for publication. Although not limited to the following, some general topics include: Gene discovery and characterization, Gene regulation in response to environmental stress (e.g., salinity, drought, etc.), Genetic effects of transposable elements, Genetic control of secondary metabolic pathways and metabolic enzymes. Herbal Medicine - regulation and medicinal properties of plant products, Plant hormonal signaling, Plant evolutionary genetics, molecular evolution, population genetics, and phylogenetics, Profiling of plant gene expression and genetic variation, Plant-microbe interactions (e.g., influence of endophytes on gene expression; horizontal gene transfer studies; etc.), Agricultural genetics - biotechnology and crop improvement.
