| Abstract | The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) holds great promise for revolutionizing the fields of plant tissue culture and genome editing. Plant tissue culture is recognized as a powerful tool for rapid multiplication and crop improvement. However, the complex interactions between genetic and environmental factors generate large volumes of data, posing challenges for traditional statistical analysis methods. To address this, researchers are now employing machine learning (ML)-based and artificial neural networks (ANN) approaches to predict and optimize in vitro culture protocols thereby improving precision, sustainability, and efficiency. Integrating AI technologies such as machine learning (ML), artificial neural networks (ANN), and deep learning (DL) can significantly advance the development of data-driven models for CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing. Today, AI-driven methods are routinely applied to enhance precision in predicting on- and off-target sequence locations and editing outcomes. Additionally, predicting protein structures can provide a directed evolution framework that facilitates the creation of improved gene editing tools. However, the application of AI-based CRISPR modeling in plants is not yet fully explored. In this context, we aim to examine representative ML/DL/ANN models of CRISPR/Cas based editing employed in various organisms. This review significantly compiles a diverse set of studies and provides a clear overview of how AI is transforming the fields of plant tissue culture and genome editing. It emphasizes AI’s potential to increase the efficiency and precision of biotechnological practices, making them more accessible and cost-effective. While outlining current findings, the paper sets the stage for future research, encouraging further exploration into the integration of AI with plant biotechnology. |
