CRISPR-Cas9 and -Cpf1-mediated Editing of the Stomatal Development Gene in Rice |
The introduction and use of systems biology approaches have identified several genes involved in the early development of a plant. With this knowledge, a suitable tool is required for the functional validation of candidate genes. The development of the CRISPR-Cas9/Cpf1 system has provided a powerful tool for creating loss of function mutants for studying genes of interest.
