High-efficiency, transgene-free plant genome editing by viral delivery of an engineered TnpB
“We need super-efficient gene editors to develop plants that can resist stressors such as drought and pathogens, or that produce higher yields,” said Savithramma Dinesh-Kumar, a professor and chair in the Department of Plant Biology. “This method has great potential for enabling the generation of plants with specific traits without requiring genetic modification.”
