Abstract excerpt
Sustainable improvement of rice yield requires coordinated modification of multiple agronomic traits, yet the agronomic outcomes of multiplex genome editing remain difficult to predict. Here, we applied CRISPR/Cas12a-mediated multiplex editing in the indica rice cultivar Kasalath to target six yield-related genes, Gn1a, TAD1, ROC5, GS3, GW2, and LARGE2, using a single Agrobacterium-delivered construct. Sanger...
