Abstract excerpt
Plant morphology is a critical determinant of crop productivity in Brassica napus, influencing both lodging resistance and optimal planting density. Here, we investigated the genetic regulation of plant architecture by focusing on the BAK gene family. Using a multi-target sgRNA CRISPR/Cas9 strategy, we generated knockout mutants of several BAK homologs. Phenotypic characterization showed that specific...
