Plant breeding at the speed of light: the power of CRISPR/Cas to generate directed genetic diversity at multiple sites.

abstract：BACKGROUND:In the study, the trihelix family, also referred to as GT factors, is one of the transcription factor families. Trihelix genes play roles in the light response, seed maturation, leaf development, abiotic and biological stress and other biological activities. However, the trihelix family in tartary buckwheat ...
