CRISPR/Cas9-Based Co-editing of KUP9 and CIPK9 Genes in Rapeseed (Brassica napus) to Improve Drought Tolerance and Yield Traits
Drought stress restricts rapeseed yield. KUP9 is involved in potassium ion transport and osmotic regulation whereas CIPK9 mediates abscisic acid signaling and stomatal movement which form an interaction network through potassium homeostasis and signal transduction. A dual-gene tandem expression cassette vector based on...
