Advances in targeted replacement genome editing in plants / 生物工程学报

ABSTRACT

Targeted replacement genome editing refers to DNA modification and engineering technology that could induce and achieve mutations of targeted gene replacement or knockin at a target gene or DNA region. In this review, the principles, implementation methods, factors that influence efficiency and accuracy, and applications of gene replacement editing were summarized and discussed. It provides the reference for gene functional characterization and genetic improvements through gene replacement strategies in higher plant especially crops.
