CRISPR/Cas9 Genome Editing of Rubber-Producing Dandelion |
 Rubber dandelion (Taraxacum kok-saghyz; TK) is notable for its ability to produce rubber in its roots and a potential alternative source of natural rubber. In order to accelerate the domestication of TK, Brian Iaffaldano and his team from Ohio State University have established a simple strategy to use CRISPR/Cas9 in this species to target the fructan:fructan 1-fructosyltransferase (1-FFT) gene, implicated in inulin synthesis. This gene was targeted as inulin is an expected antagonist of rubber production.
