Efficient generation of stable, heritable gene edits in wheat using CRISPR/Cas9

Abstract Background The use of CRISPR/Cas9 systems could prove to be a valuable tool in crop research, providing the ability to fully knockout gene function in complex genomes or to precisely adjust gene function by knockout of individual alleles. Results We compare gene editing in hexaploid wheat (...
