Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: The targeted mutation of the strigolactone biosynthetic gene, CCD8, through genome-editing CRISPR-Cas9 induces dwarfism and enhanced branching in Eustoma grandiflorum. In ornamental plants, modifying shoot architecture is a major breeding objective for diverse applications; however, achieving this goal using conventional techniques remains challenging. Strigolactones are plant hormones that inhibit...
