By using CRISPR to disable the FeS-ELF3 gene, the scientists produced a buckwheat line capable of self-pollination, establishing a framework that could support faster breeding and the development ...Wed, 9 Sep 2026 17:00:00 +0800New Breeding TechnologiesCRISPR Gene Editing Increases Rainbow Trout Weight by 56%http://www.isaaa.org/kc/cropbiotechupdate/article/default.asp?ID=21985Researchers from Ataturk University, Turkey and partners have found that CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing can significantly increase the growth of rainbow trout by disrupting the myostatin gene, mstnb1. The study showed that edited rainbow trout developed substantially greater body weight than unedited fish, highlighting the potential of gene editing to im...Wed, 9 Sep 2026 17:00:00 +0800New Breeding Technologies
