Efficient CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated Gene Editing in an Interspecific Hybrid Poplar With a Highly Heterozygous Genome

Although the CRISPR/Cas9 system has been widely used for crop breeding, its application for the genetic improvement of trees has been limited, partly because of the outcrossing nature and substantial genomic heterozygosity of trees. Shanxin yang (Populus davidiana × P. bolleana), is a commercially i...
