Genome editing tools can revolutionize the genetic enhancement of pulses for stress-resilient traits. Genome editing tools, such as CRISPR/Cas9, TALENs, and ZFNs, enable precise modification of an organism’s DNA, offering a broad range of applications from understanding molecular responses to various environmental cues to improving resilience in pulse crops. These tools help to introduce nucleotide variations leading to the generation of new, modify existing, or delete alleles of our genes of interest, leading to phenotypic changes. In pulse crops, genome editing can help to develop genotypes tolerant to abiotic stresses, including moisture, temperature, and poor soil, and resistant to biotic stresses, including diseases and insect pests. The application of genome editing tools in pulses is still in its early stages but has the potential to significantly contribute to improving global food security and sustainability.
