FAQ About Technological Advancements in Indoor Plant Breeding

How does CRISPR technology benefit indoor plant breeding?

CRISPR technology benefits indoor plant breeding by allowing for precise genetic modifications that can enhance desirable traits in plants. This can include faster growth, increased resistance to diseases and pests, improved nutritional content, and adaptability to indoor environments. CRISPR is a powerful tool because it can target specific genes without affecting the rest of the plant's genome, making it possible to achieve desired characteristics efficiently and with fewer unintended effects compared to traditional breeding methods.
