Chapter synopsis: CRISPR/Cas9 is a valuable tool for both basic and applied research that has been widely applied to different plant species. In this chapter, we reviewed the application of CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing toolkit in Brassica crops. We also provided a case study in Brassica napus. Collectively, our results demonstrate that CRISPR/Cas9 is an efficient tool for creating targeted genome modifications at multiple loci in B. napus. These findings open many doors for biotechnological applications in oilseed crops.
