Climate change threatens global crop yield and food security due to rising temperatures, erratic rainfall, increased abiotic stresses like drought, heat, salinity. Gene editing technologies, including CRISPR/Cas9, base editors, prime offer precise tools for enhancing resilience. This review explores the mechanisms of these technologies their applications in developing climate-resilient crops address future challenges. While CRISPR/enables targeted modifications plant DNA, editors allow direct conversion without inducing double-stranded breaks, enable insertions, deletions, substitutions. By understanding manipulating key regulator genes involved stress responses, such as DREB, HSP, SOS, ERECTA, HsfA1, NHX; tolerance can be enhanced against salt stress. improve traits related root development, water use efficiency, response pathways, heat shock response, photosynthesis, membrane stability, ion homeostasis, osmotic adjustment, oxidative response. Advancements gene integration with genomics, phenomics, artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning (ML) hold great promise. However, challenges off-target effects, delivery methods, regulatory barriers must addressed. highlights potential develop crops, contributing sustainable agriculture.
