Genome Editing for the Improvement of Oilseed Crops

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Oilseed crops are an important source of dietary fats and proteins in humans and animals. They have significant economic importance being the major source of hydrocarbons for the manufacturing of biofuels and industrially relevant bioproducts. Conventional plant breeding methods along with molecular breeding and transgenic technologies has contributed significantly towards the development of high-yielding cultivars of crops, including oilseeds. However, while these methods are cumbersome and time consuming, the genetically modified (GM) crop cultivars are currently not widely accepted due to regulatory concerns. To satisfy the global demand of improved oilseed crops for the ever-growing population, it is essential that alternative approaches to crop improvement must be considered. Plant breeders are now increasingly inclined towards the recently available genome editing tools for the improvement of agriculturally important traits. Among the several gene-editing platforms, the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat-Cas (CRISPR-Cas) system has emerged as a revolutionary genome editing tool for its simplicity and wide acceptability to achieve transgene-free gene modifications. In this review, we focus on understanding the historical development of genome editing tools and molecular mechanism of CRISPR-Cas genome editing system followed by its application for the improvement of various desirable traits in oilseed crops.
