摘要:
The central dogma(CD)of molecular biology is the transfer of genetic information from DNA to RNA to *** CD processes governing genetic flow include the cell cycle,DNA replication,chromosome packaging,epigenetic changes,transcription,posttranscriptional alterations,translation,and posttranslational *** CD processes are tightly regulated in plants to maintain genetic integrity throughout the life cycle and to pass genetic materials to next *** of various CD processes involved in gene regulation will accelerate crop improvement to feed the growing world *** technology enables programmable editing of CD processes to alter DNA,RNA,or protein,which would have been impossible in the ***,an overview of recent advancements in CRISPR tool development and CRISPR-based CD modulations that expedite basic and applied plant research is ***,CRISPR applications in major thriving areas of research,such as gene discovery(allele mining and cryptic gene activation),introgression(de novo domestication and haploid induction),and application of desired traits beneficial to farmers or consumers(biotic/abiotic stress-resilient crops,plant cell factories,and delayed senescence),are ***,the global regulatory policies,challenges,and prospects for CRISPR-mediated crop improvement are discussed.
