Agriculture

CRISPR-Cas9 technology can also make significant contributions to global agriculture.

CRISPR- Cas9 permits the introduction or deletion of genetic sequences with much greater precision than traditional plant techniques or earlier methods of genetic engineering.

Plant biotechnologists see the CRISPR-Cas9 technology as offering the capacity to engineer changes in major food crops by substituting existing plant DNA sequences with desired ones, or by enhancing or suppressing particular gene expression.

In USA under the Coordinated Framework for the Regulation of Biotechnology the three lead agencies are involved in the regulation of agricultural biotechnology.
