Mutagenesis of two homologs ATP Binding cassette protein in tomato by CRISPR/Cas9 provide resistance against the plant parasite Phelipanche aegyptiaca

This study uses CRISPR/Cas9 to mutate two ABC proteins in tomato, reducing germination of the parasitic weed Phelipanche aegyptiaca.

Use of a visible reporter marker- myb-related gene in crop plants to minimize herbicide usage against weeds

The paper develops a method to distinguish transgenic crop plants from weeds using a visible marker gene, reducing herbicide use.
