Advancing Agronomics in Agriculture Using Gene Editing Tools

This chapter explores the use of gene editing tools such as CRISPR, Cas9, and agrobacterium tumefaciens in various agricultural industries, including brewing, hopgrowing, and barley. It discusses the genetic alteration process using tissue culture and agrobacterium, the timeframe for producing new hop shoots, and the differences in breeding processes for crops and hops. The chapter also discusses the potential applications of gene editing in hop research and the use of agrobacterium as a vehicle for delivering genes into hops.
