The population of world is increasing at an alarming rate which requires a high amount of food to feed them. Climatic conditions are also changing year by year which causes a lot of losses in case of quality with quantity of product and also resurgence of a lot of insect and pests. Traditional breeding methods were the primary approach until the 20th century. Now, plant genome editing technologies offer a significant opportunity to modify specific genes linked to desired traits. This makes it possible to develop crop varieties with higher yields, resilient to changing harsh environments, resistance to pests and have the potential to accelerate crop development significantly. This review delves deeply into the investigation of genome editing techniques, while also addressing the obstacles and prospects associated with utilising this cutting-edge technology for the specific enhancement of various crop traits, boosts yield and strengthens the crop’s resistance against various pests.
