CRISPR and gene editing technologies have revolutionized plant biotechnology by enabling precise modifications of plant genomes to improve desirable traits such as yield, nutritional quality, disease resistance, and tolerance to environmental stresses. Functional genomics further enhances our understanding of gene function and regulatory networks that control plant growth and development.
Rapid advances in genome editing, gene discovery, and functional analysis are accelerating crop improvement while supporting sustainable agriculture and global food security through targeted genetic innovations.
This session will highlight the latest breakthroughs in CRISPR technology, genome editing, functional genomics, gene regulation, trait discovery, and next-generation molecular approaches for developing resilient and high-performing crop varieties
