Boosting Plant Tissue Culture & Genome Editing in Diverse Crops by CRISPR-Combo
Time: 4:00 pm
day: Day Two
Details:
- CRISPR-Combo enables simultaneous genome editing and gene activations
- Endogenous morphogenic genes are activated and screened in multiple plant species
- Top morphogenic genes were identified to confer enhanced plant tissue culture and regeneration in five diverse crops
- CRISPR-Combo-based morphogen activation may represent a better strategy than the conventional morphogen overexpression strategy to minimize pleiotropic phenotypes
