Generation of lachrymatory factor synthase–suppressed onion (Allium cepa L.) by Agrobacterium-mediated gene transfer for CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing

The present study first demonstrated that onion genome editing, which modified a specific trait of onion, the reduction of LFS activity, was achieved and opened the feasible way toward the final goal: the production of tear-free, higher health-functional onions.
