Description This review article gives a clear idea of the utility of genome editing in oilseed crops. It provides a list of traits and prospective genes that could be targeted for genome editing in the oilseed crops and thus can act as a ready reckoner to the researchers interested in embarking onto genome editing work in the oilseed crops.
The ever-increasing demand for vegetable oil requirement has necessitated increasing the production of oilseeds crops.
Productivity is compromised in these crops due to biotic and abiotic stresses. Albeit the substantial progress made in this
direction through conventional breeding approaches, breeding for certain traits like stress tolerance is limited by the nonavailability
of genetic variability for these traits in primary germplasm, the time required for selection and the realization
of a suitable genetic assemblage from the segregating populations, etc. This situation has necessitated adopting alternate
approaches to achieve the objectives. Genome editing technology offers a solution to modify the genome precisely with least
genetic perturbation in the least possible time frame and it has been adopted in several crops including oilseeds. Genome
editing technology depends on the genetic transformation step for introducing the machinery required for altering the genome.
However, the recalcitrance for in vitro manipulations observed in oilseed crops such as castor, sesame, jatropha, etc. has
set a limit for exploiting this powerful technology in oilseed crops. In this review, we have summarized the genome editing
work carried out in oilseed crops and also discuss the possibility of employing such technologies along with the promising
gene targets that could be manipulated to generate required variants in oilseed crops.
