Abstract excerpt
The EMBRYO DEFECTIVE 2207 (EMB2207) gene, encoding ribosomal protein UL3Z, is critical for embryonic development in Arabidopsis, with loss of function resulting in embryo lethality. Despite its importance, the role of UL3Z in the complicated protein translation machinery in plants remains poorly understood due to the lack of viable hypomorphic alleles. In this study, we utilized CRISPR/Cas9 to edit the 5'...
