Food crop productivity has expanded dramatically over the previous five decades as crop genetics have improved. Genetically modified crops are being introduced to the market due to their improved characteristics, which benefit agricultural communities. The issue with conventional breeding is that it cannot keep up with the exponential growth of the population. Gene editing has aided us in modifying DNA sequences in order to create superior qualities. Molecular scissors, such as sequence specific nucleases, are commonly utilized to optimize gene editing operations. With the introduction of the C'RISPR-C'as method, the gene editing process in plants has accelerated, paving the way for the modulation of non-model plants that are beneficial to the global population. Transformation strategics have been demonstrated to improve the quality of plant yields. Numerous plant species are being developed using protoplast fusion, particle bombardment, and Agrobacterium-mediated processes. To avoid impending risks during the gene editing process, researchers increased yields using homologous recombination techniques.
