Abstract
Editing TaBADH1 alone or TaBADH1 and TaBADH2 via CRISPR/Cas9 produced fragrant wheat with up to 11.24-fold higher 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline than the wild type without yield penalty, revealing asymmetric functional redundancy between these two genes and providing elite germplasm for wheat quality improvement.
Gene editing of five key negative regulatory genes,
GS3
,
OsBADH2
,
Xa13
,
Bsr‐d1
and
OsSULTR3;6
, generated an elite ideal‐type rice variety
mk‐10
, which exhibits a longer grain shape, enhanced tolerance to heat and alkali stress, increased 2AP content, and simultaneous resistance to
