This study reviews plant CRISPR studies and shows multiplex editing efficiency increases with more targets, suggesting feasibility of editing up to 100 genes in plants.

The paper evaluates a TT8 knockout mutant in pennycress, finding loss of proanthocyanidins in seed coats and increased seed imbibition rates without agronomically detrimental effects.

This paper uses CRISPR to edit pennycress, reducing glucosinolates and weediness to create a high-yield, low-carbon crop for agricultural and fuel use.

The paper analyzes 739 Thlaspi arvense accessions to uncover genetic variation and adaptation mechanisms, identifying genomic regions linked to agronomic traits and climate resilience.
