Deterioration of rice (Oryza sativa L.) affects grain quality and seed viability during storage. Lipoxygenase (LOX), a key enzyme in lipid metabolism, directly affects the rate of ageing. Here, we found that knock-out of lipoxygenase gene OsLOX1 by CRISPR/Cas9 delayed loss of seed viability and quality. Transcriptome analysis showed that during storage, OsLOX1 affected transcription of multiple genes,
