ABSTRACT
Targeted genome editing using artificial nucleases has the potential to accelerate basic research as well as plant breeding by providing the means to modify genomes rapidly in a precise and predictable manner. Zinc-finger nucleases (ZFNs), transcription activator like effector nucleases (TALENs) and CRISPR/Cas (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/CRISPR-associated proteins) system comprise a powerful class of tools that are redefining the boundaries of biological research. These chimeric nucleases enable a broad range of genetic modifications by inducing DNA double-strand breaks that stimulate error prone nonhomologous end joining or homology-directed repair at specific genomic locations. In this review, recent approaches and progress of artificial nuclease technology in plants has been summarized and discussed.
Key words: ZFNs, TALENs, CRISPR/Cas, NHEJ, HDR.
