Applications and status of gene drive in plants
by Bruce A. Hay Gene drive can modify or suppress plant populations, offering solutions to challenges associated with globalization and climate change. However, common features of plant biology complicate its application. Self-limiting methods provide a controlled, reversible path forward.
