摘要

Nanotechnology has revolutionized CRISPR/Cas9-mediated plant genome editing by addressing limitations of conventional delivery methods, such as Agrobacterium-mediated transformation and particle bombardment, which often suffer from low efficiency, tissue damage, and challenges in editing recalcitrant plant species. Nanoparticles, encompassing metallic, polymeric, lipid-based, and hybrid systems, have emerged as advanced carriers that enhance the targeted, efficient, and stable delivery of CRISPR/Cas9 components. By protecting Cas9 ribonucleoprotein complexes from enzymatic degradation and facilitating precise in vivo genome editing, nanoparticles offer solutions to key technical barriers. Mechanisms such as magnetofection, where magnetic nanoparticles are used for targeted delivery under external magnetic fields, and the development of biodegradable systems, which reduce environmental and biological toxicity, have further expanded the scope of nanotechnology in genome editing. The integration of these advancements with speed breeding techniques enables the rapid development of climate-resilient and high-yielding crops, addressing the increasing demand for sustainable agriculture. Despite these promising developments, challenges such as nanoparticle toxicity, scalability for field applications, and regulatory hurdles remain significant. Overcoming these challenges requires interdisciplinary approaches to design next-generation nanoparticle systems that balance efficiency, biocompatibility, and cost-effectiveness. By bridging laboratory innovations with practical agricultural applications, nanotechnology-driven CRISPR/Cas9 systems hold the potential to transform plant genome editing, accelerating the development of crops capable of withstanding biotic and abiotic stresses while improving global food security. This synergy of nanobiotechnology and genome editing paves the way for sustainable and rapid advancements in crop improvement.
