New Technologies for Precision Plant Breeding

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Recent developments in high-throughput sequencing and genome editing enable breeders to use a new tool kit for precision breeding. DNA double strand breaks can be targeted to desired genomic loci by custom-designed nucleases such as Zinc-finger nucleases, TALEN and CRISPR-Cas9. The repair products of induced breaks vary depending on the repair mechanisms and the repair template. These may be targeted small insertions or deletions, gene conversions or crossovers as well as gene replacement. In this chapter we review the concepts, achievements, opportunities and challenges of these new technologies.
