Genome editing opens a new era of genetic improvement in polyploid crops

Sequence-specific nucleases (SSN) that generate double-stranded DNA breaks (DSBs) in genes of interest are the key to site-specific genome editing in plants. Genome editing has developed into one method of reducing undesirable traits in crops by the induction of knockout mutations. Different SSN-med...
