Abstract

Since the discovery of the DNA double helix structure by Watson and Crick in 1953, technologies based on DNA recombination, such as transgenic technology, have developed so quickly that we can not escape its impact in our daily life. This short review discussed the past and current status of transgenic technology in plants with a focus on ZFN and TALEN technology to provide a quick overview of this exciting technology.
