Targeted deletion of grape retrotransposon associated with fruit skin color via CRISPR/Cas9 in Vitis labrascana ‘Shine Muscat’

Transposition of transposable elements affect expression levels, splicing and epigenetic status, and function of genes located in, or near, the inserted/excised locus. For example, in grape, presence of the Gret1 retrotransposon in the promoter region of the VvMYBA1a allele at the VvMYBA1 locus supp...
