This study develops a synthetic apomixis system in rice with >99% clonal seed production and near-normal yields, enabling stable hybrid vigor fixation.

The paper recalculates divergence times between populations using SNPs from the 1000 Genomes Project by comparing individuals to an out-group.

This paper demonstrates the use of CRISPR/Cas9 to enable clonal propagation of hybrid rice through seeds by fixing heterozygosity in F1 hybrids.

Hi-TOM is a high-throughput tool for tracking mutations induced by CRISPR/Cas systems, showing high reliability and sensitivity in detecting various mutations, including complex chimeric ones.
