Abstract Despite the promise of new gene editing technologies (GETs) (e.g., CRISPR) in accelerating sustainable agri-food production, social acceptability these remains unclear. Prior literature has primarily addressed regulatory and economic issues impacting GETs ongoing acceptability, while little work examined socio-cultural impacts despite evolving food policies product commercialisation demanding input from various actors system. Our systematic review across four databases addresses this gap by synthesising recent research on system actors’ perspectives to identify key factors influencing GET acceptability.

Over recent decades, an array of molecular tools has been applied in plant genome engineering, including TALENs (transcription activator-like effector nucleases), ZFNs (zinc-finger and CRISPR/Cas systems (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats). At present, have caught significant industry attention owing to their cost-effectiveness precision genomic modulation, thereby serving as a potent tool science research. Importantly, plants subjected editing via might not be classified genetically modified organisms (GMO), which could streamline acceptance worldwide. Originally discovered defense mechanism against plasmids invading viruses bacteria archaea, the system includes two components: CRISPR ribonucleic acid (crRNA) Cas protein. The crRNA guides protein specific (DNA) target sequence. Once there, cleaves sequence, impeding replication. In relation editing, researchers distinct sequences, manipulated function either endonuclease or base editor. most frequently used enzymes from Type II are CRISPR/Cas9 CRISPR/Cas12a (Cpf1). other harbor immense potential revolutionize breeding biotechnology. Nevertheless, use must undergo stringent regulation ensure safe responsible application. future holds promise for with safety being paramount concern crop gene editing. As such, it is vital perpetuate research development this field fully exploit its advantages agriculture because, technology advances new emerge, becomes crucial governments keep abreast cutting-edge scientific progress.

A total 71 were initially obtained from parentals ['Alicante Bouschet' (AB) × 'Itumfifteen' (IT-15)]. Selected classified according the red colour flesh: non-coloured (NCF), partially coloured (PCF), totally (TCF). PCF TCF showed 1.1–2-fold higher phenolic acids, 1.1–5.5-fold flavonols, 1–5-fold stilbenes, between 1.3- 48.4-fold anthocyanins, respectively compared (AB IT-15).
