Abstract excerpt
Brassica napus is the most important oil crop plant for edible oil and renewable energy source worldwide. Yield loss caused by pod shattering is a main problem during B. napus harvest. In this study, six BnSHP1 and two BnSHP2 homoeologs were targeted by the CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats)-Cas9 (CRISPR-associated protein 9) genome editing system and multiple SHP1 and SHP2 mutated...
