R&D Field trial to evaluate the phenotype and yield of maize lines gene edited for optimised plant architecture
The edited maize lines have a shorter stature and larger biomass due to an edit in a transcription factor gene and a transcriptional coactivator gene resulting in an altered expression. Both edits impact together internode elongation and, hence, plant height and biomass quantity.
