Abstract excerpt
The RNA-guided Cas9 system is a versatile tool for genome editing. Here, we established a RNA-guided endonuclease (RGEN) system as an in vivo desired-target mutator (DTM) in maize to reduce the linkage drag during breeding procedure, using the LIGULELESS1 (LG1) locus as a proof-of-concept. Our system showed 51.5%-91.2% mutation frequency in T0 transgenic plants. We then crossed the T1 plants stably expressing DTM...
