Establishment of CRISPR/Cas9 Genome Editing in Witloof (Cichorium intybus var. foliosum)

Cichorium intybus var. foliosum (witloof) is an economically important crop with a high nutritional value thanks to many specialized metabolites, such as polyphenols and terpenoids. However, witloof plants are rich in sesquiterpene lactones (SL) which are important for plant defense but also impart...
