Scientists have developed CAIN, a CRISPR-based gene editing technique that utilizes a toxin-antidote system to manipulate plant inheritance.
Chinese scientists have engineered a solution by which they could bypass natural plant gene inheritance. They aim to deploy a CRISPR-based gene editing system to help the transmission of preferred genes even when they aren’t suitable for a plant.
However, traditional breeding for ideal genes can be problematic for plants, especially those constrained by Mendelian inheritance and Darwinian natural selection. The former describes how genetic traits are passed down through generations. Subsequently, a CRISPR-resistant “antidote” copy of NPG1 rescues pollen cells carrying the desired gene drive.
