Complex Trait Loci in Maize Enabled by CRISPR-Cas9 Mediated Gene Insertion

Complex Trait Loci in Maize Enabled by CRISPR-Cas9 Mediated Gene Insertion

Modern maize hybrids often contain biotech and native traits. To-date all biotech traits have been randomly inserted in the genome. Consequently, developing hybrids with multiple traits is expensive, time-consuming, and complex. Here we report using CRISPR-Cas9 to generate a complex trait locus (CTL...
