Loss-of-function mutation in the polyamine transporter gene OsLAT5 as a potential selectable marker for genome editing Open
Genome editing by TALENs and CRISPR/Cas has become routine tools. During stable plant transformation, genes coding for editing enzymes, e.g., Cas9, guide RNAs (gRNA), and selectable markers are integrated into the nuclear genome. Identific…
