Novel Genome-Editing Approaches for Developing Non-GM Crops for Sustainable Improvement and the Mitigation of Climate Changes por Naglaa A, Abdallah, Hamwieh, Aladdin, Baum, Michael

“…These strategies involve the utilization of site-directed nucleases, specifically type 1 (SDN-1), as well as cisgenic editing employing SDN-2. A number of countries, including the United States, Japan, India, and Australia, classify genome-edited crops that lack transgenes or foreign deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) as non-genetically modified (non-GM) and thereby exclude them from regulations governing genetically modified organisms (GMOs). …”
