“…The review offers a broad and unbiased collection of relevant studies through a systematic search of databases on the application of CRISPR/Cas approach for abiotic stress tolerance (Nascimento et al, 2023). Similarly, Hossain et al (2022) updated the concept, mechanism, and application of CRISPR-Cas genome editing technology on the enhancement of crop plants for abiotic stress tolerance. The current progress and challenges of CRISPR-Cas mediated genome editing approach are discussed in relation to breeding climate-smart wheat for ensuring global food and nutritional security (Afroz et al, 2023).…”

Abiotic stresses, including drought, salinity, cold, heat, and heavy metals, extensively reducing global agricultural production. Traditional breeding approaches and transgenic technology have been widely used to mitigate the risks of these environmental stresses. The discovery of engineered nucleases as genetic scissors to carry out precise manipulation in crop stress-responsive genes and associated molecular network has paved the way for sustainable management of abiotic stress conditions. In this context, the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat-Cas (CRISPR/Cas)-based gene-editing tool has revolutionized due to its simplicity, accessibility, adaptability, flexibility, and wide applicability. This system has great potential to build up crop varieties with enhanced tolerance against abiotic stresses. In this review, we summarize the latest findings on understanding the mechanism of abiotic stress response in plants and the application of CRISPR/Cas-mediated gene-editing system towards enhanced tolerance to a multitude of stresses including drought, salinity, cold, heat, and heavy metals. We provide mechanistic insights on the CRISPR/Cas9-based genome editing technology. We also discuss applications of evolving genome editing techniques such as prime editing and base editing, mutant library production, transgene free and multiplexing to rapidly deliver modern crop cultivars adapted to abiotic stress conditions.
