Abstract: With the rapid development of genome editing technology, CRISPR/Cas9 system has become one of the most important means of crop improvement. In order to provide a reference for the supervision of genetically editing crops which may appear and could be commercially applied in China in the future, this paper briefly reviews current situationofcropcultivationbyCRISPR/Cas9technology,summarizestypicalsuccessfulexamples of gene editing technology in crop improvement, analyzes the regulatory attitudes of governments in various countries on genetically editing crops, and point outs that Chinese scientists should catch up with this revolution.
