Review
A SWOT analysis of the implications of CRISPR/Cas9 technology in crop production: A Review
Author(s): Gilbert Ndutu Munywoki* and Justus Mulinge Munywoki
CRISPR/Cas9 technology has become popular in modern plant science and allows crop scientists to manipulate DNA sequences and modify gene function. Gene editing using CRISPR has been used in different food crops such as potato, tomato, maize, rice, and fruits such as oranges and bananas. CRISPR technology is precise in gene targeting, efficient, and has shown positive results in domesticating beneficial traits of wild plant lines. Most studies focus more on gene editing using CRISPR in crops as well as future perspectives. However, few studies address CRISPR from a holistic view by looking at its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Therefore, in this review paper, we address CRISPR/Cas9 in crops from a SWOT analysis perspective. The technology is essential for crop enhancement in terms of longevity, nutrition, and palatability. Through CRISPR, crops are engineered to thr.. View more»
