China is a major producer of tropical crops globally, boasting rich varieties and diverse functions. Tropical account for two-thirds the plant species in this country. Many their products, such as oil palm, rubber, banana, sugarcane, cassava, papaya are well known to people. Most these products irreplaceable possess special They not only supply important raw materials people's daily life industrial agricultural production but also contribute economic growth subtropical regions China. However, modern molecular breeding severely hampered by biological characteristics genetic complexity. Issues polyploidy, heterozygosity, vegetative propagation, long juvenile periods, large sizes result time consuming, low efficiency, slow progress conventional crops. The development genome-editing technologies has brought new way breeding. As an emerging gene-editing technology, CRISPR-Cas9 system been widely used plants, adopted its higher targeting versatility, ease usage. This approach applied papaya. review summarized delivery patterns, mutation detection, application crop breeding, discussed existing problems, addressed prospects future applications field, providing references relevant studies.
