Accelerated breeding for early-maturing and aromatic glutinous restorer lines with CRISPR/Cas9-mediated targeted editing for hybrid rice.

Abstract excerpt

Hybrid rice breeding depends on the development of elite parental lines with favorable traits such as grain quality, heading time, and plant architecture. However, improving restorer lines through conventional breeding is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Here, we employed a multiplex CRISPR/Cas9 editing strategy to simultaneously target Wx, Badh2, and Se14 in the elite restorer line FH676, aiming to generate...
