Abstract
ce (Oryza sativa L.) plays a key role in human social and economic life. In order to meet the increasing
needs of human food consumption, there is a constant requirement to develop rice cultivars with
enhanced agricultural traits. The emerge of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats
(CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated proteins (CRISPR/Cas9) system provides unprecedented opportunities
in studying gene functions and creating new rice varieties with better characteristics, including improved
tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses, and increasing yield and quality. This review aims to provide details
about the latest results of CRISPR/Cas9 system application on rice to obtain better adapted to environmental
and commercial demands.
