Abstract

Biochemical Research Methods Biochemistry & Molecular Biology Life Sciences & Biomedicine Plant Sciences Science & Technology
Heat stress hampers plant growth and development, reduces yield and productivity, and thus threatens food security across the globe. Rice, one of the most widely consumed food crops in the world, is extremely sensitive to high-temperature stress: growth, yield, and production of rice are adversely affected. The development of thermotolerant rice varieties capable of adapting to a wide range of temperatures is an urgent need to feed the increasing population worldwide. CRISPR/Cas9 system has great potential to study gene function and generate crop varieties tolerant to multiple stresses. It has been used in a variety of crops to understand mechanisms underlying tolerance against abiotic stresses including heat stress. Here, we review applications of the CRISPR/Cas9 system aimed at exploring function of genes under heat stress in rice.
