Abstract excerpt
The CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technology has been widely used in defining gene functions and crop improvement. However, some genes are essential for plant growth and development. Loss-of-function homozygous mutations in essential genes lead to plant death or sterility. Mutations in essential genes need to be maintained and propagated in heterozygous plants. CRISPR/Cas9 technology is highly efficient in generating...
