Generation of lachrymatory factor synthase-suppressed onion (Allium cepa L.) by Agrobacterium-mediated gene transfer for CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing
Introduction Lachrymatory factor, an irritating volatile compound that induces tearing, is produced when onion bulbs are cut or chopped. Lachrymatory factor synthase (LFS)-specific suppression in onion may reduce the lachrymatory effect and enhance flavor and health-functional properties. Genome editing enables precise...
