Virus-induced Genome Editing in Plants: Viral Vector Biology, Germline Access and the Evidence Base for Heritable, Transgene-Free Crop Improvement

Nikhil Ramrao Mohite, Basavaraj B. Bagewadi & S. K. Prashanthi · Biotechnology Journal International · 2026

Delivery, rather than nuclease chemistry, now sets the practical limit on plant genome editing. Conventional delivery depends on tissue culture and stable transformation, which remain slow, genotype-dependent and unavailable for most cultivated germplasm. Plant viruses offer an a...
