Abstract excerpt
RICE FLORICULA LEAFY/ABERRANT PANICLE ORGANIZATION 2 (RFL/APO2) is a master regulator of panicle morphogenesis and development in rice. Traditionally, mutations in RFL have led to severe growth phenotypes and decreased rice yield, labeling it as detrimental. However, the present study challenged this perception by utilizing CRISPR/Cpf1 and single-base gene-editing technologies to generate a series of...
