CRISPR enables heritable genome editing in planta

Trends Genet. 2023 Jul 8:S0168-9525(23)00155-5. doi: 10.1016/j.tig.2023.06.009. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRecent exciting developments in clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-based genome editing showcase its potential to rapidly and efficiently edit genomes in planta, eliminating long processes of tissue culture and extensive breeding for crop improvement. These new methods offer heritable transgene-free edits in one generation, making them an attractive option for improving commercially important crops.PMID:37429772 | DOI:10.1016/j.tig.2023.06.009
