Wuschel2 enables highly efficient CRISPR/Cas-targeted genome editing during rapid de novo shoot regeneration in sorghum

Che et al. use Wuschel2-enabled genome transformation to induce somatic embryo formation in sorghum, a grain used in human food. Their approach not only overcomes the genotype-dependent barrier for genetic transformation without the introduction of morphogenic genes, but also increases the frequency...
