Efficient CRISPR/Cas9 Genome Editing of Phytoene desaturase in Cassava

Efficient CRISPR/Cas9 Genome Editing of Phytoene desaturase in Cassava

CRISPR/Cas9 has become a powerful genome-editing tool for introducing genetic changes into crop species. In order to develop capacity for CRISPR/Cas9 technology in the tropical staple cassava (Manihot esculenta), the Phytoene desaturase (MePDS) gene was targeted in two cultivars using constructs car...
