“…In general, parthenocarpy in fruits and vegetables is characterized by the absence of seeds or a small number of seeds, which is preferred by consumers. Parthenocarpic fruits and vegetables are more resistant to a number of environmental stresses and have better fruit set, quality, and yield (Acciarri et al, 2011; Pandolfini et al, 2002). To develop parthenocarpic plants, the latest genome editing techniques CRISPR/Cas9 can be used as a breeding tool (Rao et al, 2018).…”

Vegetables provide many nutrients in the form of fiber, vitamins, and minerals, which make them an important part of our diet. Numerous biotic and abiotic stresses can affect crop growth, quality, and yield. Traditional and modern breeding strategies to improve plant traits are slow and resource intensive. Therefore, it is necessary to find new approaches for crop improvement. Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/CRISPR associated 9 (CRISPR/Cas9) is a genome editing tool that can be used to modify targeted genes for desirable traits with greater efficiency and accuracy. By using CRISPR/Cas9 editing to precisely mutate key genes, it is possible to rapidly generate new germplasm resources for the promotion of important agronomic traits. This is made possible by the availability of whole genome sequencing data and information on the function of genes responsible for important traits. In addition, CRISPR/Cas9 systems have revolutionized agriculture, making genome editing more versatile. Currently, genome editing of vegetable crops is limited to a few vegetable varieties (tomato, sweet potato, potato, carrot, squash, eggplant, etc.) due to lack of regeneration protocols and sufficient genome sequencing data. In this article, we summarize recent studies on the application of CRISPR/Cas9 in improving vegetable trait development and the potential for future improvement.

Agricultural crops in which the DNA has been modified using genetic engineering techniques (addition, deletion, or manipulationof a single trait in an organism to create a desired change) are referred as Genetically modified (GMO) crops.Geneticallymodified crops possess one or more useful traits, that normally does not exist in the plant in nature. Transgenic technology has been used to increase crop yields and improve their nutrition, reduce the use of pesticide and herbicides by making them tolerant, insect resistant, reduce CO2 emissions, and decrease the cost of crop production. However, since the first GM crop produced, thedebate of using/not using GMO crops is ongoing. A number of concerns like toxicity and allergenicity to animals and humanbeings, potential environmental risks, such as chances of gene flow, adverse effects on non-target organisms, evolution of resistance in weeds and insects etc. have been the major roadblocks in its application. In this review, we present a comprehensiveupdate on the current status of the genetically modified (GMO) crops under cultivation. We also discuss the issues affectingwidespread adoption of transgenic GM crops and comment upon the recent tools and techniques developed to address some of these concerns. Keywords: Genetically modified crops (GMO), Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt)
