Cytokinin-mediated source/sink modifications improve drought tolerance and increase grain yield in rice under water-stress.

abstract：:Recent developments of tools for targeted genome modification have led to new concepts in how multiple traits can be combined. Targeted genome modification is based on the use of nucleases with tailor-made specificities to introduce a DNA double-strand break (DSB) at specific target loci. A re-engineered meganuclease ...
