Abstract
Crop breeding is being revolutionized by rapid progress in DNA sequencing and targeted alteration of DNA sequences by genome editing. Here we propose a regulatory framework for precision breeding with "genome-edited crops" (GECs) so that society can fully benefit from the latest advances in plant genetics and genomics.
