Agrobiotechnology Talk Series (23) Introduction to CRISPR-Cas technology (14 September 2022)
Updated: Feb 25, 2025
In this talk, Dr Qi will first provide a general overview of the landscape of the cutting-edge CRISPR genome editing tools, including CRISPR-Cas9, CRISPR-Cas12a, CRISPR-Cas12b, C-to-T base editors, A-to-G base editors, and prime editors. Then, he will present a few case studies on the application of these tools different plant species, including rice, maize, wheat, carrot, tomato, and poplar. Next, he will introduce highly efficient multiplexed genome editing systems based on CRISPR-Cas9 and Cas12a. Their powerful applications will be showcased in rice, such as simultaneous editing of multiple crop traits, targeted protein evolution for herbicide resistance, and creation of quantitative traits by editing cis-regulatory elements. Finally, he will talk about an exciting gene activation technology, CRISPR-Act3.0, and its use for accelerating crop breeding and metabolic engineering. Collectively, these CRISPR technologies will greatly aid the development of high-yield, nutritious and resilient crops to feed the growing population worldwide.
The target audience includes international scholars, researchers, agricultural industry as well as the general public.
Speaker: Dr. Yiping Qi, Associate Professor at University of Maryland, College Park
Host: Prof Hon Ming Lam, Professor, School of Life Sciences, and Director of SKLA, AoE and SeedTEC, CUHK

Many people also verify their information before applying for passports, visas, educational admissions, financial Nid Card Check, or employment opportunities. Regularly checking your NID information helps ensure that your official records remain accurate and up to date. Since many organizations now rely on digital identity verification, maintaining correct NID information is essential for avoiding delays in important services. Online checking also saves both time and money while reducing unnecessary visits to government offices.
