Abstract Synopsis

  • The text discusses how polyploid crops, which have multiple sets of chromosomes, face challenges in traditional breeding due to their complex genetics.
  • Genome editing technologies, especially those using sequence-specific nucleases (SSNs), allow for precise and simultaneous editing of multiple gene copies, improving traits like disease resistance and yield without compromising cultivars.
  • Despite significant progress, challenges such as identifying target genes, genotyping, and achieving high mutagenesis efficiency need to be addressed to fully harness genome editing for polyploid crop enhancement.
