Characterization and Evaluation of OsLCT1 and OsNramp5 Mutants Generated Through CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated Mutagenesis for Breeding Low Cd Rice

To explore how rice (Oryza sativa L.) can be safely produced in Cd-polluted soil, OsLCT1 and OsNramp5 mutant lines were generated by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated mutagenesis. One of OsLCT1 mutant (lct1×1) and two of OsNramp5 mutants (nramp5×7 and nramp5×9) were evaluated for grain Cd accumulation and agrono...
