Genome Editing Toward Wheat Improvement

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Genome Editing Technologies for Crop Improvement

Abstract

Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is one of the important field cereal crops, providing human and animal nutrition and maintaining food security globally. Thereby, it is essential to improve wheat for its economic traits by advanced biotechnologies. As a modern technology with great potential, genome editing has been gradually applied in wheat functional genomic study and breeding with the advancement of wheat genetic transformation system. Among the current genome editing technologies available, the most efficient one applied in wheat is CRISPR/Cas9, namely, cluster regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)-associated endonucleases (Cas). By employing CRISPR/Cas9, many wheat characteristics such as powdery mildew resistance, grain size, seed storage proteins, pre-harvest sprouting, and growth development have been genetically modified. This chapter summarized the application and improvement progress of genome editing tools in wheat based on genetic transformation technologies.
