We encourage you to explore the latest publication on gene editing titled ‘A Roadmap for Plant Genome Editing‘, edited by Agnès Ricroch, Dennis Eriksson, Dragana Miladinovic, Jeremy Sweet, Katrijn Van Laere, and Ewa Woźniak-Gientka from IBCH PAS, and published by SPRINGER. This publication is available at: https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-46150-7.

The book is a collection of articles authored by 77 researchers from 21 countries, providing an overview of various plant gene editing methods. It discusses the potential use of gene editing to improve the yield, quality, or resilience of various agricultural, horticultural, and forestry crops. Additionally, the book includes regulatory analyses of new genomic techniques (NGS) in the European Union and other countries. Readers will also find chapters on social and consumer attitudes towards plant gene editing.

It is worth noting that this book is a result of collaboration in the COST PlantEd Action (CA18111) ‘Genome editing in plants – a technology with transformative potential’.
