Abstract
Bangladesh is a small and agricultural country. By using CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system we can develop the crop production. CRISPR can be used in a variety of ways. The lengthy process of developing a genetically modified agricultural product, starts in the lab with intensive research, optimization, and validation a timeline that can take several years from start to finish. The process often includes examining performance in field like conditions in a process known as field trials. The product is then generally submitted to regulatory agencies for review. Consumers, farmers, and climate researchers alike stand to benefit in the seemingly endless gene-editing possibilities which CRISPR provides, as well as the pace and creativity with which scientists are deploying it in their favorite systems. As CRISPR-based gene-editing tools become more sophisticated, expect to see multi-function Cas enzymes, adding new genomic material at specific spots in the genome, and edits leading to programmable changes in how much protein is made from a given gene. We also anticipate CRISPR optimization to expand beyond staple crop species into more gnomically complex plant and animal species, commercial crop varieties, and divergent cultivars grown on small-scale farms. Upon approval and deregulation, the developer may then begin the marketing, scaling, and distributing to growers or consumers. For Bangladesh the best soil quality values were observed in 1998 (93.69) and 2008 (98.32), which were also the years with crop yields above 4.7 tons/ha. The worst yields were seen in 1997 and 2023, when Climate Resilience fell to 34.953. The CRISPR genome editing has been a highly successful and efficient tool with the potential to solve some of humanity's most pressing challenges. This research suggest that CRISPR-based genome editing could transform agriculture in Bangladesh.
