The lowest hanging fruit: Beneficial gene knockouts in past, present, and future crop evolution

It is now well-documented that gene knockout (loss-of-function) alleles have played a prominent role in crop evolution during domestication, diversification, and improvement. This includes dramatic examples from the very origins of agriculture to the monumental yield increases of the Green Revolutio...
