New Breeding Techniques (NBT) are a collection of methods that could increase and accelerate the development of new triats in plant breeding. These techniques often involve genome editing, to modify DNA at specific locations within the plants to produce new traits in crop plants. The various method of achieving these changes in traits include the following. (.)Cutting and modifying the genome during the repair process by tools like CRISPR/Cas. (.)Gneome editing to introduce changes in few base pairs using the technique called Oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis (ODM). (.)Transfarring a gene from an identical or closely related species (cisgenesis). (.)Organising processes that alter gone activity without altring the DNA itself (epigenetic methods).
