Abstract : Precision plant breeding and Crispr/cas genome editing have revolutionized agricultural biotechnology and opened up previously unheard-of opportunities for further crop improvement. By precisely altering plant genomes through the use of cas/crispr systems, crops with beneficial traits—like increased disease resistance, better nutritional value, and increased productivity—can be produced more quickly. At the same time, improving crop resilience and productivity requires an understanding of how microbes or plants interact with one another. Plant health depends on microbial populations, which influence growth, stress tolerance, and disease resistance. Gene editing and microbial interactions have a cooperative relationship that has the potential to completely transform agriculture by enabling innovative and sustainable farming practices. Researchers are finding new strategies to grow crops that are more resilient, resource-efficient, and high-performing by fusing the benefits of plant-microbe interactions with crispr/cas technology. This all-encompassing strategy seeks to solve the issues posed by climate change and the growing world population while also enhancing food security.
