Description Research article
Solanaceous crops are the largest family of crops which is consumed as a vegetable for their nutritional properties such as
carbohydrates, resistant starch, antioxidants, vitamins, mineral and nutrient that is beneficial for human health. Among abiotic
stresses, salinity is one of the detrimental and prominent stress in the recent scenario of climate change which significantly
affects the growth and development of solanaceous crops. Advances in genome editing (GE) has been employed to modify
gene of several agronomically important plants. GE with CRISPR/Cas9 (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic
Repeats and CRISPR-associated protein 9) -based techniques allow for the precise and targeted mutations, opening up the
new possibility of using this tool to improve important agronomic and physiological traits. According to this review, the
present landscape of CRISPR/Cas9 uses in solanaceous crops, such as tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum) and potatoes (S.
tuberosum), has been evaluated. The available literature pertaining to CRISPR/Cas in solanaceous crops hints towards its
wider applicability in developing plant tolerant to abiotic stress, especially salinity stress. Therefore, together with advancements
in genome and transcriptome sequencing, genomic engineering with CRISPR/Cas9 will aide in the development of
salt-tolerant solanaceous crops.
