    The researchers used the CRISPR-Kill technique to prevent the model plant Camelina from forming secondary roots



    With the help of CRISPR/Cas molecular scissors, the genetic information of plants can be modified to make them more resistant to pests, diseases or extreme climatic conditions


    Using molecular scissors, the DNA, the carrier of genetic information, can be modified in plants


    Elimination of secondary roots and petals with CRISPR-Kill

    The scientists conducted experiments focused on the secondary roots and petals of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana


    In contrast to other methods of eliminating cells with cytotoxins or laser radiation, CRISPR-Kill induces multiple cuts in the genome


    Better understanding of plant development

    The work of scientific researchers can be divided into basic research


    Using CRISPR-Kill for organ specific cell elimination by cleavage of tandem repeats
