Abstract excerpt
Melatonin, a pleiotropic regulatory factor, plays a key role in mediating crop drought resistance. Herein, we conducted an integrated physiological and transcriptomic approach to elucidate the mitigating effect of endogenous melatonin in mitigating drought stress in maize. We generated a comt snat asmt maize mutant via CRISPR-Cas9-mediated simultaneous editing of ZmCOMT, ZmSNAT, and ZmASMT1-genes encoding...
