From Wild to Cultivated: Genome Editing Accelerates the De novo Domestication Revolution
Abstract
De novo domestication offers an effective and rapid method of utilizing beneficial traits from wild plants for agriculture, preserving their inherent stress resilience. Recently, de novo domestication has been successfully demonstrated in allotetraploid rice, which represents a breakthrough in staple crop development. The present review explores the potential of genome editing, such as CRISPR/Cas9 and TALEN, can accelerate the modification of key domestication traits in wild species, facilitating the development of climate-resilient crops and contributing to global food security.
