CRISPR-Cas9 Induced Knockout of BEL5 in Tetraploid Potato: Optimized Methodology via Repeated de novo Regeneration and Impact on Tuberization

CRISPR-Cas9 has emerged as a powerful tool for targeted genome editing in plants; however, its application in tetraploid potato (Solanum tuberosum ssp.

CRISPR-Cas9 has emerged as a powerful tool for targeted genome editing in plants; however, its application in tetraploid potato (Solanum tuberosum ssp. tuberosum) remains challenging due to its vegetative propagation and complex highly heterozygous genome. Availability of…
