- Scientists developed “Plant-OpenCRISPR1,” the world’s first Artificial Intelligence (AI)-designed genome-editing platform for crops.
- The platform was developed by the Central Rice Research Institute under the Indian Council of Agricultural Research.
- The research was carried out in Cuttack using rice as a model crop for validation.
- Plant-OpenCRISPR1 supports advanced gene knockout, base editing, and prime editing in plants.
- The technology uses Artificial Intelligence-designed enzymes instead of naturally occurring microbial proteins used in traditional CRISPR systems.
- The platform is expected to improve crop breeding, agricultural productivity, and precision genome editing in plants.
