A screening method to identify efficient sgRNAs in Arabidopsis, used in conjunction with cell-specific lignin reduction

Abstract Background Single guide RNA (sgRNA) selection is important for the efficiency of CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing. However, in plants, the rules governing selection are not well established. Results We developed a facile transient assay to screen sgRNA efficiency. We then used it to test...
