CRISPR/Cas genome editing for cotton precision breeding: mechanisms, advances, and prospects

Journal of Cotton Research, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 8(1)

Опубликована: Фев. 3, 2025

Abstract Cotton ( Gossypium hirsutum L.) is one of the most important global crops that supports textile industry and provides a living for millions farmers. The constantly increasing demand needs significant rise in cotton production. Genome editing technology, specifically with clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein (Cas) tools, has opened new possibilities trait development cotton. It allows precise efficient manipulation within genome when compared other genetic engineering tools. Current developments CRISPR/Cas including prime editing, base multiplexing have expanded scope traits breeding can be targeted. been employed to generate effectively CRISPRized plants enhanced agronomic traits, fiber yield quality, oil improvement, stress resistance, nutrition. Here we summarized various target genes which successfully altered However, some challenges remain, tetraploid having redundant gene sets homologs making editing. To ensure specificity avoiding off-target effects, need optimize parameters such as site, guide RNA design, choosing right Cas variants. We outline future prospects breeding, suggesting areas further research innovation. A combination speed might useful fastening potentials create customized cultivars meet higher demands agriculture industry.

The unintentional release of nanoparticles in the atmosphere and their targeted application to improve plant productivity requires detailed study. translocation features copper gold applied by spraying concentration range 1-100 mg/L Petroselinum crispum (Mill.) tissues during a 10-day experiment were investigated. Atomic absorption spectrometry inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy showed that leaves' surface could accumulate organs. A dose-dependent increase content aerial parts parsley was revealed. leaves treated with 1-2.3 times higher than control, while exceeded control values 2-116 times. effect on plants' biochemical composition assessed. antioxidant tests an ambiguous response at exposure metal nanoparticles. Copper consistently reduced both chlorophyll carotenoid content. Gold enhanced level low concentrations (1 mg/L) significantly inhibited it concentrations. exposed nano-copper remained safe for human consumption, but containing more 14.9 mg/kg may adversely affect health.

The nano-paradox: addressing nanotoxicity for sustainable agriculture, circular economy and SDGs

Journal of Nanobiotechnology, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 23(1)

Опубликована: Апрель 24, 2025

Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) have aroused extensive interest in agricultural, industrial, and medical applications. The integration of ENMs into the agricultural systems aligns with principles United Nations' sustainable development goals (SDGs), circular economy (CE) bio-economy (BE) principles. This approach offers excellent opportunities to enhance productivity address global climate change challenges. revelation adverse effects (NMs) on various organisms ecosystems, however, has fueled debate 'Nano-paradox' leading emergence a new research domain 'Nanotoxicology'. shown different interactions biological environmental as compared their bulk counterparts. They bioaccumulate organisms, soils, other matrices, move through food chains reach higher trophic levels including humans ultimately resulting oxidative stress cellular damage. Understanding nano-bio interactions, mechanism gene- cytotoxicity, associated potential hazards, is therefore, essential mitigate toxicological outputs. review comprehensively examines cyto- genotoxicity mechanisms systems, covering aspects such entry, uptake, responses, dynamic environments long-term risk assessment (ERA). It also discusses methods, regulatory policies, strategies for toxicity management/mitigation future directions nanotechnology, all within context SDGs, CE, promoting resource efficiency sustainability. Navigating nano-paradox involves balancing benefits concerns about nanotoxicity. Prioritizing thorough above facets can ensure sustainability safety, enabling responsible harnessing nanotechnology's transformative applications mitigating enhancing productivity.
