Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: Genomic editing with CRISPR/Cas9 system can simultaneously modify multiple copies of theBnaFAD2 gene to develop novel variations in fatty acids profiles in polyploidy rapeseed. Fatty acid composition affects edible and processing quality of vegetable oil and has been one of the primary targets for genetic modification in oilseed crops including rapeseed (Brassica napus). Fatty acid desaturase 2 gene,...
