  • food supplies one of the main issues in the future and with increasing

  • population size and decline in the amount of land available for growing

  • crops the stress pressure and agricultural environments will increase

  • and therefore we need to work on on releasing new varieties that can

  • cope with this stress environments and the CRISPR Cas9 technology will be

  • one important tool and the CRISPR Cas9 technology it is very easy

  • to implement you can consider it as a molecular scissors that can make changes

  • specifically very precisely in a particular place in the genome and using

  • this tool you can replace bad parts of the genome and then

  • insert parts that will improve the gene edited plants depending on which

  • gene you modify can have improved traits that with it can be increased

  • yield it can be improved disease resistance it can be improved

  • nutritional quality the resources for CRISPR Cas9 gene editing are being

  • developed for these crops and it is becoming quite powerful tool that

  • breeders and geneticists hope to use in the future for improving not only

  • wheat but also many other crops
