Engineering plant architecture via CRISPR/Cas9-mediated alteration of strigolactone biosynthesis
Abstract Background Precision plant genome engineering holds much promise for targeted improvement of crop traits via unprecedented single-base level control over the genetic material. Strigolactones (SLs) are a key determinant of plant architecture, known for their role in inhibiting shoot branchin...
