How can CRISPR technology improve plant breeding?

The science of changing the traits of plants in order to give rise to a desired trait is called plant breeding. CRISPR refers to clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat and case 9 associated protein system is the plant breeding innovation that uses site-directed nucleases used to target and transform DNA with accuracy. It can be applied in a wide range of uses such as biological research, development od crops & animals and human health.

Plant Breeding and CRISPR Plants

Top Key Players:- Advanta Seeds Pty Ltd, Bayer AG, Benson Hill Biosystems, Inc., DLF, Eurofins Scientific, Evogene Ltd., KWS Group, Land O’Lakes, Inc., Pacific Biosciences, Syngenta AG

Increasing importance for sustainable crop production drives the growth of plant breeding and the CRISPR plants market. Besides this, a fall in the cost of genomic solutions also drives the growth. However, high costs involved in modern breeding techniques as compared to conventional breeding techniques restricts the growth. A uprurging investments from seed companies and supportive regulations for molecular breeding is expected to boost the growth of plant breeding and CRISPR plants market.
