Harnessing the potential of mutation breeding, CRISPR genome editing, and beyond for sustainable agriculture

By 2050, the global population is projected to exceed 9.5 billion, posing a formidable challenge to ensure food security worldwide. To address this pressing issue, mutation breeding in horticultural crops, utilizing physical or chemical methods, has emerged as a promising biotechnological strategy....
