Improvement of the Rice “Easy-to-Shatter” Trait via CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated Mutagenesis of the qSH1 Gene

Improvement of the Rice “Easy-to-Shatter” Trait via CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated Mutagenesis of the qSH1 Gene

“Easy-to-shatter” trait is a major cause of rice crop yield losses, emphasizing the economic value of developing elite rice cultivars with reduced seed shattering capable of achieving higher yields. In the present study, we describe the development of new indica rice lines that exhibit lower rates o...
