Recent genome-editing tools, through site-specific insertion, deletion, or mutation of genes of interest, are poised to have a significant effect on plant biotechnology. These tools permit the modification or mutation of genes of interest without involving foreign DNA, and as a result, plants developed with this technology might be considered as nontransgenic genetically altered plants. This would open the door for the development of fruit crops with superior phenotypes and permit their commercialization even in countries where GM crops are poorly accepted. Examples of fruit crops with superior phenotypes are the genetically engineered ‘super banana’, which produces more vitamin A (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2660138/Super-bananas-sale2020-Fruit-laced-vitamin-A-begins-humans-trials-tackle-deficiencyAfrica.html), and the nonbrowning apple, which does not go brown after fresh cut and retains all its natural flavor and taste, unlike other non-GM apples (http://www.okspecialtyfruits.com/arctic-apples/browning-and-nonbrowning-science). Acceptance of a new technology is not the issue. In the past 50 years, consumers have experienced the benefits of conventional breeding based on biotechnological tools. However, growing food needs cannot be sustained by traditional breeding. Genome-editing technologies have the potential to offer the consumer products that would be difficult, or impossible to produce using traditional breeding methods, without the addition of foreign DNA typical of traditional GM (which still generates strong consumer concerns and objections). These new crop fruits will remain biotech crops, which is largely acceptable. We suggest the name of genetically edited (GE) crops for plants created with gene-editing tools such as ZFNs, TALENs, and CRISPRs.
