We are now entering the third decade of the 21st Century, and, especially in the last years, the achievements made by scientists have been exceptional, leading to major advancements in the fast-growing field of genome editing in plants and agriculture. Frontiers has organized a series of Research Topics to highlight the latest advancements in science in order to be at the forefront of science in different fields of research. This editorial initiative of particular relevance, led by Dr Bing Yang, Specialty Chief Editor of the Genome Editing in Plants section, together with Dr Jimmy Botella, is focused on new insights, novel developments, current challenges, latest discoveries, recent advances and future perspectives in the field of genome editing in plants.
The Research Topic solicits brief, forward-looking contributions from the editorial board members that describe the state of the art, outlining recent developments and major achieved accomplishments, future challenges and how to address those challenges to move the field forward. Reviews, Mini-Reviews, Perspectives, Brief Research Reports and Opinions summarizing the current state and future directions of the field are particularly welcome in this collection. This article collection will inspire, inform and provide direction and guidance to researchers in the field.
Please note that this article collection is open to receive exclusively invited manuscripts from editorial board members. However, should you be interested in joining the board and/or wish to propose a spontaneous article that fits the scope of this project perfectly, please contact the editorial office first (genomeediting@frontiersin.org).
Jimmy Botella was a founding member of Coridon (Australia) Pty Ltd.
