The rapid and widespread adoption of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas technologies has allowed genetic editing in plants to enter a revolutionary new era. In this mini review, we highlight the current CRISPR/Cas tools available in plants and the use of Arabidopsis thaliana as a model to guide future improvements in crop yields, such as enhancing photosynthetic potential. We also outline the current socio-political landscape for CRISPR/Cas research and highlight the growing need for governments to better facilitate research into plant genetic-editing technologies.
CRISPR/Cas 技术的快速广泛采用使植物基因编辑进入了一个革命性的新时代。在本篇综述中，我们重点介绍了目前在植物中可用的 CRISPR/Cas 工具，以及利用拟南芥作为模型来指导未来提高作物产量，例如提高光合作用潜力。我们还概述了当前 CRISPR/Cas 研究的社会政治格局，并强调了各国政府更好地促进植物基因编辑技术研究的必要性日益增加。
