Because they don’t have the option of domesticating the groundcherry over thousands of years of selective breeding, as agriculturists did with tomato plants, the researchers are using CRISPR-Cas9 gene ...

the research team used CRISPR/Cas-based chromosome engineering to generate chromosomal inversions of different sizes in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. The epigenetic state of these lines ...

Genome editing with CRISPR-Cas is a new approach to introduce mutations into the genome of plants - in a precise and predictable manner. Even better, with genome editing it is not only possible to ...

Results prove that inversions can be generated in plants without causing further unwanted changes in the expression of genetic information.

Nevertheless, the team’s analysis suggested that the CRISPR-edited wood would likely boost fiber production ... But the approach may be less convincing once the trees go outside, said Wout Boerjan, a ...

Moreover, plant biologists, working with a wide variety of crops, have embarked on efforts to delete genes that attract pests. That way, by relying on biology rather than on chemicals, CRISPR ...

However, CRISPR has also been adapted to do other things too, such as turning genes on or off without altering their sequence. There were ways to edit the genomes of some plants and animals before ...
