According to the China Agricultural ASTRI updates Institute of Crop Science hospital crop of transgenic and gene editing technology and application innovation team, the use of multi-gene editing technology, the generation of more excellent winter wheat allele polymerization, and successfully obtained a non- transgenic , The new wheat germplasm that aggregates multiple excellent alleles provides important technical support for the development of multi-gene aggregation breeding of wheat and other polyploid crops.
ASTRI transgenic transgenic Team members, China Agricultural Research Institute for the Sciences researcher Xia Lanqin introduced wheat is to protect our food security is important staple crop.
Academy of Sciences The team used the CRISPR/Cas9 system and the polycistronic tRNA self-cutting system to develop an efficient and versatile multi-gene editing technology.
Genetically modified CRISPR/Cas9 system-mediated multi-gene editing of wheat has obtained a new wheat germplasm that aggregates multiple excellent alleles.
The establishment of this high-efficiency and universal multi-gene editing system for wheat will help promote molecular biology research and network analysis of the formation of complex traits, create new wheat germplasm, and accelerate the breeding process.
