Abstract
This paper provides a review of current and ongoing research focused on increasing barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) yield using CRISPR/Cas technology. Barley is a crucial cereal crop with significant economic and agricultural importance, and improving its yield is essential for addressing food security challenges. Recent studies highlight the potential of CRISPR/Cas gene-editing technology to modify key genes involved in yield improvement, such as HvDEP1, HvGA20ox2, and HvCKX2, which regulate plant architecture, gibberellin biosynthesis, and cytokinin metabolism, respectively. This review discusses the effectiveness of CRISPR/Cas-mediated gene editing in barley, emphasizing different transformation methods, including Agrobacterium-mediated transformation and direct gene editing techniques.
