FAQ About Indoor Plant Genetic Engineering

How is CRISPR-Cas9 used in genetically engineering indoor plants?

CRISPR-Cas9 is a technology that allows for precise editing of the plant genome. It involves using a specialized enzyme guided by a strand of RNA to make specific cuts at designated locations in the DNA. This enables scientists to add, remove, or replace parts of the DNA sequence, facilitating targeted genetic modifications in plants.
