摘要：

The future of genome editing in plants differs from how it is used today. For both research and product development, we need to think beyond the creation of simple single-nucleotide polymorphisms and short deletions in genes. We believe that the future of genome editing in plants involves mimicking the natural evolutionary processes that have shaped plant genomes and been the target of artificial selection during crop domestication and improvement. This includes programming large structural variations (insertions, duplications, deletions, inversions and translocations) and controlling plant recombination and endogenous transposable elements that naturally reshape plant genomes. The key is that genome editing will be used to reshape plant genomes in a manner that could have happened naturally, but now these changes can be directed rapidly in the laboratory.
