Plant genome editing made easy: targeted mutagenesis in model and crop plants using the CRISPR/Cas system
Targeted genome engineering (also known as genome editing) has emerged as an alternative to classical plant breeding and transgenic (GMO) methods to improve crop plants. Until recently, available tools for introducing site-specific double strand DNA breaks were restricted to zinc finger nucleases (Z...
