Abstract Grasses, including turf and forage, cover most of the earth’s surface; predominantly important for land, water, livestock feed, soil, water conservation, as well carbon sequestration. Improved production quality grasses by modern molecular breeding is gaining more research attention. Recent advances in genome-editing technologies are helping to revolutionize plant also offering smart efficient acceleration on grass improvement. Here, we reviewed all recent researches using (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein (Cas)-mediated genome editing tools enhance growth forage grasses. Furthermore, highlighted emerging approaches aimed at advancing program. We assessed CRISPR-Cas effectiveness, discussed challenges associated with its application, explored future perspectives primarily focusing Despite promising potential grasses, current efficiency remains limited due several bottlenecks, such absence comprehensive reference genomes, lack gene delivery tools, unavailability suitable vector species, high polyploidization, multiple homoeoalleles, etc. these challenges, system holds great fully harness benefits genetics, aiming improve sustain quantity
