Genome editing of crops: A renewed opportunity for food security

The aim and philosophy of the development of GM crop technology over the past 40 years are the same as the goals and concepts that have spurred the development of today's GenEd technology but the latter is to improve agriculture and contribute to humanity. High Efficiency Execution In most cases, it does not constitute integration of foreign transgenes into food crops. In contrast, this technique provides a better alternative to random breeding by routine mutagenesis. It is often affected by nonspecific mutations that may not have been detected against generations. However, the GenEd approach is aimed at eliminating many of the problems and uncertainties that have plagued GM technology in the past, but emphasizes that GM and GenEd technologies should maintain some degree of complementarity You should do it. In some instances, such as transgenic integration of random sites on plant chromosomes or inability to remove unnecessary excessive genetic material (such as plasmid residues), it is possible to avoid effective disadvantages associated with the GM method By disseminating information to new technologies, new technologies will gain public acceptance, win the trust of consumers around the world, revitalize the momentum of disability, and focus on developing better agricultural methods. However, this optimism should be expressed cautiously, especially considering the negative thinking of the reverse genetical activity organization in the general public 's mind about genetically modified crops. In this way of thinking, at least in the early stages, the general public can not be called an alternate way to easily accept GenEd crops. While contradicting negative campaigns, trying to regain the public's trust, it is a big task for scientists. If science is to find a solution to the global food shortage and malnutrition, especially in the face of the rapid changes in the climate and the Earth's population, if it meets the growing demand for safer and more efficient agriculture Science has to be done Class freedom that requires class resolution

In addition, scientists are responsible for maintaining the flow of information to promote a positive understanding of scientific goals and social instruments while clearly stating the risks and benefits and emphasizing the loss of opportunity risk. This interaction with society helps to prevent spreading of erroneous information

One of the latest technologies to ensure global food security is the use of genetically modified (GM) crops. The genome of these crops can be modified to deal with one or more aspects of the plant. This may interfere with growth in various regions under certain conditions. Many of these changes can address the above issues such as water crisis, land degradation, climate change. In agriculture and livestock industry, the Green Revolution promotes the use of traditional hybrids to increase production by creating "high yield varieties". Generally, a small number of hybrids develop in developed countries, and cross over with local varieties of other developing countries to create high yield varieties that are resistant to regional climate and disease.

In agriculture, genomic editors may reduce the use of water and nitrogen, improve nutrition, and allow to cultivate crops on land that is currently unavailable. As the population of the world continues to increase, genome-editing crops with microorganisms and more healthy livestock can be made to increase agricultural efficiency, which is key to sustainably meeting world food needs Let's see. Some people persuade genomic editors to even eliminate the need for genetic modification (GM), which is an old-fashioned technique to eventually insert foreign DNA into the genome of an organism. However, genome editing may be enthusiastically accepted in the medical field, GM is relatively problematic, but it is noted that while biomedicine is widely spread to patients, application to agriculture is not so It is important to. In the field of public opinion, there may be no difference between genome editing and crop gene insertion.
