Plant genome engineering
proposednot assessed
Making precise, heritable changes to the genomes of crop plants quickly and across species, without the long tissue-culture steps that limit many crops today.
Scope
In: editing and transformation methods for crop plants and the regeneration of whole plants from edited cells. Out: the choice of trait (for example food/nitrogen-fixing-cereals) and field regulation of the resulting crops.
