Optimization of CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing in cotton by improved sgRNA expression

Abstract Background When developing CRISPR/Cas9 systems for crops, it is crucial to invest time characterizing the genome editing efficiency of the CRISPR/Cas9 cassettes, especially if the transformation system is difficult or time-consuming. Cotton is an important crop for the production of fiber,...
