Abstract excerpt
Cas12a is widely used in plant genome editing, but its targeting scope is constrained by stringent protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) requirements and variable activity across species, limiting its application at diverse genomic loci. LbCas12a-RRV-based editing system was established in nonheading Chinese cabbage, and T5exo-PF-LbCas12a was generated by introducing a triple mutation (D535G/S551F/D665N) and fusing...
