Plant Genome Editing

Plant Methods

© Schiml and Puchta. 2016The exciting field of genome editing is rapidly advancing and precise genome editing techniques have already become an important tool for both fundamental research and plant biotechnology.

This collection includes both invited reviews and unsolicited research covering all aspects of genome editing technologies as applied to plant research (both for crop plants and model organisms).

This collection is published in conjunction with the GARNet-OpenPlant CRISPR-Cas Workshop held at the John Innes Centre Norwich on the 7-8 September 2015.

If you are interested in contributing to this series you can do so via our online submission system. If you are uncertain about the suitability of a manuscript for consideration, please feel free to contact the Editors at plantmethods@lancaster.ac.uk.

  2. Reduction in rice yield caused by high temperature-induced spikelet sterility has been a serious concern in rice production. To date, several screening methods have been used, although their reproducibility i...
