Precise Editing of the <i>OsPYL9</i> Gene by RNA-Guided Cas9 Nuclease Confers Enhanced Drought Tolerance and Grain Yield in Rice (<i>Oryza sativa</i> L.) by Regulating Circadian Rhythm and Abiotic Stress Responsive Proteins

Abscisic acid (ABA) is involved in regulating drought tolerance, and pyrabactin resistance-like (PYL) proteins are known as ABA receptors. To elucidate the role of one of the ABA receptors in rice, <i>OsPYL9</i> was mutagenized through CRISPR/Cas9 in rice. Homozygous and heterozygous mut...
