Abstract

Genome editing in plants has revolutionized the field of genetics by offering precise manipulation of an organism's DNA, paving the way for the development of transgenic plants with enhanced resilience, and improved yields, including nutritional profile, to address the needs of a rapidly growing population worldwide. This chapter provides insight into the trends involved in the development of transgenic plants through modern genome editing technologies. Moreover, some of the ethical, health, and environmental issues are also discussed which are crucial to address thorough scientific investigation.
