Plant genomics has come a long way since ... The scientists used genome editing to create over 70 mutant strains of tomato and Arabidopsis thaliana plants. Each mutation deleted a piece of ...

Sánchez-Rivera runs a lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) dedicated to this challenge, using precision genome editing to ... that might target mutant p53, for instance.

according to the team led by the institute's plant editing expert Caixia Gao. Through whole genome sequencing the team also confirmed that - unlike mutant plants made with the plasmid system ...

About 75% of the world's food comes from 12 plants. Scientists estimate up to 30,000 species are edible. Not only does this ...

but the slabcg44 mutant produces smaller fruits. The research team systematically evaluated the potential of SlABCG45 genome editing in broomrape resistance, and showed that knocking out SlAGCG45 ...
