Multiplex Genome Editing Overcomes Photoperiod Sensitivity in Tropical Maize

Keunsub Lee, Ella Hampson, R. Carrillo, Minjeong Kang, Fernanda Ghenov, Lauren Higa, Zhi‐Yan Du, Gregory R. Schoenbaum, Jianming Yu, Kan Wang, Michael G. Muszynski

This study uses CRISPR/Cas9 to edit three flowering repressor genes in tropical maize, reducing photoperiod sensitivity and enabling earlier flowering in both short-day and long-day conditions.
