Programmable DNA cleavage using CRISPR–Cas9 enables efficient, site-specific genome
engineering in single cells and whole organisms. In the research arena, versatile CRISPR …

An in planta gene editing approach was developed wherein Cas9 transgenic plants are
infected with an RNA virus that expresses single guide RNAs (sgRNAs). The sgRNAs are …

Genome editing provides novel strategies for improving plant traits but mostly relies on
conventional plant genetic transformation and regeneration procedures, which can be …

CRISPR/Cas9 genome targeting systems have been applied to a variety of species.
However, most CRISPR/Cas9 systems reported for plants can only modify one or a few …

CRISPR/Cas genome-editing tools provide unprecedented opportunities for basic plant
biology research and crop breeding. However, the lack of robust delivery methods has …

Abstract Background The CRISPR/Cas9 system provides bacteria and archaea with
molecular immunity against invading phages and conjugative plasmids. Recently …
