RESUMO
Recent exciting developments in clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-based genome editing showcase its potential to rapidly and efficiently edit genomes in planta, eliminating long processes of tissue culture and extensive breeding for crop improvement. These new methods offer heritable transgene-free edits in one generation, making them an attractive option for improving commercially important crops.

The coupling of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-Cas RNA-programmable nucleases with nucleic acid detection platforms has brought radical changes to the field of disease diagnosis. Recently, Sánchez et al. developed a simple, rapid, highly sensitive, precise, and in-field deployable point-of-care (POC) and point-of-need (PON) molecular disease detection tool that can be used in diverse agricultural applications.
