Abstract
Lentil ( Lens culinaris ) is a globally important legume crop, but its yield is increasingly constrained by weed competition and limited access to selective herbicides. This study explores how gene editing technologies, particularly the CRISPR/Cas system, can revolutionize the development of herbicide-resistant lentil varieties. We first discuss the potential mechanisms of herbicide resistance in plants, including target site resistance (TSR) and non-target site resistance (NTSR), and compare transgenic approaches with endogenous gene editing strategies. We then review advances in gene editing platforms, such as base editing and primer editing, and examine delivery systems for lentil. We focus specifically on recent advances in editing key genes, such as ALS ( acetolactate synthase ) and EPSPS ( 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase ), followed by field evaluation of gene-edited lines. We also critically analyze regulatory frameworks, biosafety concerns, and public acceptance. A case study of imazethapyr-resistant lentil breeding in Canada showcases the practical applications and achievements of gene editing in lentil breeding. This study highlights the potential of combining gene editing with modern breeding tools to broaden the herbicide resistance spectrum, enhance sustainability, and ensure the sustainability of lentil production under changing agroecological conditions.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
