Enhanced CRISPR method enables stable insertion of large genes into the DNA of higher plants
24.4.2024: Scientists at the Leibniz Institute of Plant Biochemistry (IPB) have succeeded for the first time in stably and precisely inserting large gene segments into the DNA of higher plants very efficiently. To do this, they optimized the gene-editing method CRISPR/Cas, commonly known as "genetic scissors." The improved CRISPR method offers great opportunities for the targeted modification of genes in higher plants, both for breeding and research. This experimental approach was then tested with other genes to be incorporated and in other plants,...
