In recent years, industry in the world has developed and consequently, greenhouse gasses have reached excessive concentrations. This has led to a rise in global temperature and, eventually, climate change. Plant growth and crop yield are affected by exposures to abiotic stresses caused by climate change, such as drought, salinity, temperature, etc. CRISPR/Cas9 (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeat/CRISPR-associated protein9) has been widely used in the plant biology field. Genome-editing research, including CRISPR/Cas9, has revealed and contributed to the knowledge about tomato plants. Up to now, genome editing has been implemented in tomato breeding to enhance fruit yield and quality, growing strain resistance, and accelerating the domestication of untamed tomatoes. This chapter focuses on the implementation of CRISPR/Cas9 genome-editing technologies to understand abiotic stress adaptation and tolerance in tomato plants.
