Recent Advances and Future Perspectives for the Improvement of Stress Tolerance in Rice BreedingUsing CRISPR/Cas9
Keywords

Abstract
Rice (Oryza sativaL.) is one of the most important staple crops that is widely cultivated in the world. Due to the critical role of rice in the global food security, great efforts have been made in order to develop new rice varieties with good agronomic traits, such as biotic and abiotic stress tolerance. The CRISPR/Cas9 has emerged as a promising system for the improvement of various traits of crop plants because of its efficiency, simplicity, and versatility. In this mini review, we discussedthe applications of the CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing system to improve a wide range of traits in rice varieties adapted to unfavorable conditions. Specifically, a number of functional and regulatory genes that are associated with diseases (rice blast, bacterial blight) and pesticide resistance and abiotic stress(salinity, drought,and cold) tolerance havebeen functionally characterized via the mutants produced by the CRISPR/Cas9 system. Additionally, the advances and limitations of using CRISPR/Cas9 system in rice plantswerediscussed. Taken together, our papercould provide a solid foundation for further application of genome editing tools in plant breeding for tackling climate change.
