Summary:Sanwen Huang, Detlef Weigel, Roger Beachy and Jiayang Li propose a regulatory framework for precision breeding with genome-edited crops. They argue that society should benefit from the latest advances in plant genetics and genomics. Crop breeding is being revolutionized by rapid progress in DNA sequencing and targeted alteration of DNA sequences by genome editing. Here we propose a regulatory framework for precision breeding with 'genome-edited crops' (GECs) so that society can fully benefit from the latest advances in plant genetics and genomics.
