Abstract
Plants are constantly facing enormous biotic and abiotic stress factors in nature. To secure the food for the ever-increasing population scientists are constantly put their effort to improve crop and generate stress tolerant plants. Genome editing is one of the cutting-edge technologies in plant biotechnology to improve plants. The Clustered Regulatory Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) technology is paramount due its high specificity and plasticity of application. CRISPR is existed in microbial system as the part of the immune response. The present article focusses towards development of this ground breaking technology and its application.
