Converging GWAS and Genome Editing Decrypts MsCBF8‐ MsGolS2 Regulatory Module for Drought Tolerance Without Yield Penalty in Medicago sativa
ABSTRACT Drought constitutes a major abiotic stress limiting alfalfa productivity. To elucidate the genetic basis of drought tolerance, a genome‐wide association study (GWAS) was conducted in alfalfa, which identified a CBF/DREB1 family transcription factor designated MsCBF8. Utilizing an optimized CRISPR‐Cas9 system,...
