Genome editing has emerged as a powerful tool for genome manipulation and trait improvement in crops. However, most commonly used approaches rely on tissue culture and transgenic materials, which are time-consuming, labor-intensive, and often strongly genotype-dependent. Here, we developed a Tobacco rattle virus (TRV)-based system to deliver the compact ISYmu1 TnpB endonuclease, coupled with in planta shoot regeneration,

A study published in GM Crops & Food found that Chinese youth generally hold balanced and cautious views toward genetically modified (GM) technology. The researchers from Shanxi University of Finance and Economics and Peking University in China interviewed 25 young people aged 19 to 27 to better understand how attitudes toward GM technology are formed.
