Heritable transgene-free genome editing in plants by grafting of wild-type shoots to transgenic donor rootstocks
L. Yang, F. Machin, et al.
This innovative research by Lei Yang, Frank Machin, Shuangfeng Wang, Eleftheria Saplaoura, and Friedrich Kragler reveals a groundbreaking method for achieving heritable, transgene-free genome edits in plants. By cleverly utilizing a fusion of Cas9 and guide RNA with tRNA-like sequences, scientists successfully transferred editing capabilities from rootstocks to shoots, paving the way for efficient plant production without the complications of transgenes.
