Efficient CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated Knockout of an Endogenous <i>PHYTOENE DESATURASE</i> Gene in T1 Progeny of Apomictic <i>Hieracium</i> Enables New Strategies for Apomixis Gene Identification

Efficient CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated Knockout of an Endogenous <i>PHYTOENE DESATURASE</i> Gene in T1 Progeny of Apomictic <i>Hieracium</i> Enables New Strategies for Apomixis Gene Identification

Most <i>Hieracium</i> subgenus <i>Pilosella</i> species are self-incompatible. Some undergo facultative apomixis where most seeds form asexually with a maternal genotype. Most embryo sacs develop by mitosis, without meiosis and seeds form without fertilization. Apomixis is co...
