CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome editing in sorghum — recent progress, challenges and prospects
TLDR
In this paper, the authors describe the progress in genome editing of sorghum and review the remaining challenges and prospects of emerging gene editing technologies for rapid precision breeding of this crop, which is a versatile crop with great potential as a sustainable food, feed, and bioenergy source.Abstract:
Sorghum is a versatile crop with great potential as a sustainable food, feed, and bioenergy source. To mitigate the severely negative impact of climate change and population growth on food and energy security, further elevation of the crops stress tolerance is urgently needed. Genome editing technologies such as CRISPR/Cas have great potential to accelerate functional genomics and crop improvement by supporting targeted modification of almost any crop gene sequence. We describe the recent progress in genome editing of sorghum. In addition, we review remaining challenges and prospects of emerging gene editing technologies for rapid precision breeding of this crop.read more

TL;DR: Sorghum is a climate-resilient crop critical to livelihood in several semi-arid regions but has traditionally received limited research investment as mentioned in this paper , and a robust increase in research literature on sorghum was observed for the period, more than tripling to almost 1,600/year in 2020.
