Abstract
As an emerging and innovative technology, gene-editing technology has been widely applied in crop breeding, human disease treatment, animal model research, drug and vaccine development, and microbial engineering. We mainly introduce the development of gene-editing technology, the application of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat/Cas9 (CRISPR/Cas9) in Ganoderma lucidum breeding, the current challenges and optimization strategies in the use of gene-editing technology in Ganoderma breeding, as well as the current status of gene-editing technology in Ganoderma breeding. Finally, the future research directions and innovative strategies that gene editing may explore in Ganoderma breeding are prospects given the existing background, future research directions, and innovative strategies that gene editing may explore in Ganoderma breeding prospects.
