Precision Reimagined: TALENs for Better Crops

Agriculture constantly faces the battle against biotic and abiotic stresses. To ensure global food security, scientists are advancing gene editing with greater precision through plant breeding innovations. While digital tools such as robotics, sensors, and artificial intelligence (AI) are being used to optimize the field, biotechnology experts are working at the molecular level using molecular scissors. One such tool that enables precise edits to DNA is the Transcription Activator-Like Effector Nucleases, better known as TALENs.
